Yeah, that's me and that's a frozen lake with a polished track for skating. Nacho and I went to Sigtuna, a village close to Stockholm, to try it.

Actually, in Sweden there's a forecast service that tells you the thickness of the ice in every lake. When it's more than a certain amount, it's really safe to stand over it, or even drive a car!
