Seriously? 🤦🏼
The article is actually really fascinating and talks about the nature of water and how it reacts under different pressure and temperature combinations. It even talks about how the different disciplines of ice skating all require different temperatures of ice because the physics change. It's an interesting read.
Frankly, that was unexpected 🤌🏼
