<p>Once a compound of violence and hardship, an old Soviet jail in Estonia is now seen in beautiful and serene light, in stunning footage released by daredevil travellers.</p>
<p>Alari Teede and Meelis Vosu shared a breathtaking video of them ice-skating over an abandoned prison submerged in a frozen lake in northern Estonia.</p>

<p>"The water/ice was so clean that you could see everything underneath your feet," he said. "As well parts of [the] old prison, [there were] fishes and landscape underwater."</p>
<p>The ice "was about 3-7cm thin and water [was] pretty deep so if you go there better have some safety gear with you", he added.</p>
<p>In its yesteryear, Rummu prison housed inmates who were forced to work in a nearby quarry.</p>
<p>The jail has long since been abandoned and flooded, and attracts daredevils from around the world for a spot of summer diving or winter skating.</p>
