POPSThe Frisian Solar Challenge A famous skating competition tour held in Fryslan, one of the northern provinces of The Netherlands. is The Eleven-cities Tour. This is a tour of almost 200 km in length, on frozen canals, rivers and lakes between eleven Frisian cities. That tour is not held each year, mostly because the Dutch winters do not permit skating on natural ice every year. Moreover, a result of the climate change we see more warm winters nowadays and many people already believe we will not experience the Tour again because of global warming. There is, however, an fascinating alternative, which is taking place along the same historical 200 kilometres right now: the world’s largest race of solar vessels, The Frisian Solar Challenge Around 50 teams of mainly universities and specialist companies from Europe participate in the event. There are teams from Brazil, England, Sweden, Germany, Belgium, Italy and Poland, and - of course - The Netherlands.
