Sailing on thick ice

New York’s Hudson River, winter of 2014: Temperatures were so cold for so long that sailors were able to take their antique wooden ice yachts out for a sail on this 32-kilometre stretch of thick ice. It was a rare sight for the area. Global warming meant that the Hudson River hadn’t frozen thick enough for safe iceboating in years.
