Ice skaters use narrow blades molded into special boots to glide across icy surfaces. Although originally developed as a means of locomotion, skating has become a popular pastime year round, especially in areas with colder climates. Indoor or outdoor rinks, and frozen lakes, ponds and rivers are popular skating destinations.
