"Welcome to Paradise, suckers..."

I'm always surprised Christianity's version of Hell as a hot place was accepted in northern Europe -- quite at odds with the Nordic idea of hell as the land of the frost giants...

Of course Our Lord refers to fire. But Dante has the center of Hell frozen, like you suggested.

Satan is waist deep in ice, weeping tears from his six eyes, and beating his six wings as if trying to escape, although the icy wind that emanates only further ensures his imprisonment (as well as that of the others in the ring). Each face has a mouth that chews on a prominent traitor.
