The Black Sea has frozen. Ice pellets swim near the coast of Odessa, Ukraine, and waves roll beneath the surface completely covered by a dense crust. 100 meters from the land you can see small icebergs.
For two days it’s been snowing almost non-stop throughout the South Caucasus. In the capitals, Tbilisi, Yerevan and Baku, the weather has caused road and traffic complications.
The Black Sea resort city of Sochi has also been hit with frost and a heavy snowfall.
