In a winter wonderland scene straight out of a storybook, the provincial capital of Ardabil, in northwestern Iran, was transformed as heavy snowfall led to the closure of schools and universities.
On Saturday, the residents seized the opportunity to enjoy the pristine white landscape by flocking to the nearby hills for some exhilarating tubing adventures.
The snowfall, which had been gracing the region for the past four days, finally halted on Monday morning, but the bone-chilling -21 degrees Celsius recorded over the past 24 hours is still in place.
