Black and white phtography of ice showing the texture of it.
«Seegfrörni"» is the name given to the event when lakes in Switzerland freeze. Every year I ask myself: «Will the lake i live next to freeze?»

To answer the given question, I created a prototype that enables you to check the current freezing status of Lake Pfäffikon. Additionally, the website discusses how the climate crisis is reducing the frequency of lake freezes and will likely lead to their complete disappearance in most regions.
