La Voiture Gelée


The voiture gelée (frozen car) of the Versoix freeze has finally been freed from its ice shackles thanks to the recent warming trend. As a reminder, here's what the car looked like in early February.


And here's a local news story from when the owner came to pick up his car after over a month of waiting for it to fully thaw. The accompanying video is in French, but nonetheless includes some more shots of the car in its frozen state as well as the "moment of truth" when the owner finally attempts to start it (about 40 seconds in).

As can be seen in the video, his dog is clearly a bit camera shy and less excited about the car's return to form than the owner is.
