The Abashiri Okhotsk Drift Ice Festival will be held for the 60th time at the Abashiri Commercial Port Wharf. Focusing on drift ice, which is decreasing in strength year by year due to the effects of global warming, the festival will be held under the theme of "Save the Ice Save the Earth" (protecting drift ice means saving the earth), as in the previous year.

We are planning to hold a variety of events to promote the current status of drift ice, its charms, and what each of us can do to protect it, so that people will come to love drift ice even more!

Please check the official website of the organizer for information on the status of the event.
