I used to believe that the ocean froze over in the winter (I grew up in Minneapolis where EVERYTHING froze over in the winter!) I thought that the waves froze in motion, so the winter sea was one giant mass of frozen waves. I believed the only reason people didn't walk to Europe in the winter was because it was too difficult to lug your luggage over all of those frozen waves.
