导读：俄罗斯西伯利亚一位老奶奶每天在贝加尔湖上滑冰引起了人们关注。现年80岁的柳博夫·莫尔霍多娃（Lyubov Morekhodova）把和她年龄差不多的冰鞋紧紧系在毛靴上，一场优雅的贝加尔湖冰面滑行就开始了。老奶奶从小就热爱滑冰，已经滑了70多年了。

 

 

Lake Baikal in southern Siberia is the largest, deepest freshwater lake in the world. Every winter when the lake freezes over for half the year, 80-year-old Lyubov Morekhodova straps on the same ancient skates as she’s worn since the 1940s and glides across the ice wherever she needs to go.

Lyubov, or Baba Lyuba as she’s called, has been using the ice to travel around her remote homestead(家宅) for her entire life. As a child, she recalls skating about 2.5 miles each way to school and back. She once fell through the ice in January and narrowly escaped with help from her classmates.

After raising her two children and working in a factory for almost 50 years, Baba Lyuba retired and now lives alone in a tiny cabin on the shores of Lake Baikal. Her children and five grandchildren rarely visit because they live five hours away by car, so her only company is a group of dogs, cows and chickens. Luckily, she has the ice to help her feel free! “For me, ice means being able to go anywhere and everywhere,” the grandmother said.
