Lee Kwan-hee, 8, a primary school student, takes part in a winter military camp in Ansan, about 25 miles southwest of Seoul, Jan. 6, 2010.

Widespread ice and sub-zero temperatures continued to cause disruption across Britain. In western Ireland, lakes froze for the first time in living memory and teenagers were driving all-terrain vehicles on the ice. In three weeks, the nation used up a year’s supply of road salt.
