Lake Çıldır in Ardahan has not yet frozen this. year due to unusually high temperatures remaining above seasonal norms.
Known for freezing over completely during the winter, Lake Çıldır typically sees its surface solidify, allowing for activities like horse-drawn sleigh rides and ice fishing. However, mild weather conditions have postponed the lake's highly anticipated deep freeze, disappointing locals and tourists who rely on the winter spectacle.
