A winter outdoor scene depicts an ice-covered lake or river prepared for a cold water immersion event in Падлабенскі сельскі Савет, Belarus, under a clear blue sky. A large, ornate Orthodox cross, sculpted from ice, stands prominently on a floating pontoon platform. The platform, constructed from red and white sections and partially covered in ice and snow, encloses a rectangular section of open, dark water. Two orange lifebuoys are affixed to the platform's railings, which are decorated with small evergreen branches. To the left of the open water, a man dressed in a dark hooded winter jacket and pants stands, observing the scene. To the right, two individuals in dark blue winter overalls, marked with patches, stand near the ice cross, appearing to be safety personnel. In the background, several indistinct figures are visible on the vast expanse of snow-covered ice, with a dense forest of coniferous and deciduous trees marking the distant shoreline.
