elimä

Elimä is a Finnish word that translates to "ice hill" or "snow hill" in English. It refers to a natural or man-made accumulation of ice and snow, often found in cold climates. These formations can vary in size and shape, from small, temporary mounds to larger, more permanent structures. Elimä can be created by natural processes such as freezing temperatures and wind, or they can be intentionally constructed for recreational purposes like sledding or skiing. In some contexts, elimä might also refer to a specific geographical location or feature characterized by such icy or snowy hills. The term is commonly used in areas experiencing significant snowfall and freezing conditions, particularly in Finland and other Nordic countries.
