They live on the ice for as long as it lasts. For centuries, the Dutch have used winters to move from one place to another by taking to the ice. As soon as the rivers and lakes freeze over, a new dimension to transportation comes up. The Dutch have traditionally been skaters and people to enjoy the ice instead of staying inside and wait until the cold has passed. Just think of the many paintings of old masters of winter scenes: life is continued outside, but on the ice. Nowadays, cold winters are becoming rare, and the waters do not freeze over very frequently anymore. But when they do, the instinct is the same: virtually everyone moves to the ice. For the Dutch, skating on natural ice is the ultimate victory over water, but it is also a sensation of ultimate freedom.
