 Ice Skating - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Ice skating is travelling on ice with skates, narrow (and sometimes parabolic) blade-like devices moulded into special boots (or, more primitively, without boots, tied to regular footwear).
The skating rink regarded as the world's longest (about 8 kilometres long) is the Rideau Canal located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Ice skating works because the metal blade at the bottom of the ice skate boot can glide with very little friction over the surface of the ice.
