“Freezing” is one of the main themes of Tokachi-Shikaoi Geopark. It appears in many different features: periglacial phenomena and landform, ecology, and life-style of residents in this region. We show some examples of geomorphic features related to cold climate, and activities of residents adapting to the “freezing” winter and even using ice to build hot spa, ice bar and other activities on “freezing” Lake Shikaribetsu.Our poster will show introduction to the world of freezing.
