I get National Geographic Society announcements via email. Often included is something entertaining. This came today...

No doubt that's fun!
The figure skater shown is Laura Kottlowski. In the Instagram post linked from the NGS email, she turned the tables on the photographer Pete McBride, showing him skating in hockey skates.

The email info starts with this...
"Pure joy: When the glacial-tilled waters of this Canadian lake froze recently, Nat Geo photographer Pete McBride got on the turquoise wonder with figure skater Laura Kottlowski, who now documents the diminishing thickness of high mountain lake ice around the world ..."
That photo reminded me of skating on ponds as a kid. I loved outdoor skating back then.
