Daredevil ice-skates above frozen underwater prison
Once a compound of violence and hardship, an old Soviet jail in Estonia is now seen in beautiful and serene light, in stunning footage released by daredevil travellers.
Alari Teede and Meelis Vosu shared a breathtaking video of them ice-skating over an abandoned prison submerged in a frozen lake in northern Estonia.
The video, shot on December 30, shows him gliding across the ice rink among dilapidated buildings.
"The water/ice was so clean that you could see everything underneath your feet," he said. "As well parts of [the] old prison, [there were] fishes and landscape underwater."
The ice "was about 3-7cm thin and water [was] pretty deep so if you go there better have some safety gear with you", he added.
In its yesteryear, Rummu prison housed inmates who were forced to work in a nearby quarry.
The jail has long since been abandoned and flooded, and attracts daredevils from around the world for a spot of summer diving or winter skating.
