It is a long time Lake Sevan has been under ice.

According to Armenian News - NEWS.am correspond reporting from near Lake Sevan, there is a several dozen-meter solid ice on the coastal area, on which it is possible to walk quietly.  

Due to the weather conditions of 2017, Large Sevan has appeared under general ice cover since February 3, while Small Sevan is partially covered by ice (80-90%), which is 10-15 cm thick.

Overall, the icing-up of the lake has its pros and cons. The positive side is that in the conditions of ice cover there is almost no evaporation, whereas the negative side is that the surface ice emerged on the lake hinders the solubility of oxygen in the water, this reducing the quantity of oxygen.
