VIDEO : View of New York City: skating on top of a skyscraper

New York City may be in the dead of winter, but now visitors can skate without having to wrap up in the cold.

The viewing platform Edge in the Hudson Yards neighborhood of Manhattan has opened an indoor ice rink on the 100th floor.

Temperatures outside have recently been around freezing, but it was pleasantly warm inside thanks to an eco-friendly, zero-energy synthetic ice rink.

The observation deck opened in 2020 as part of the Hudson Yards commercial, residential and office complex, built on a previously disused rail yard in West Manhattan.
