35 Ice Fishermen needed Rescue in Duluth



A sudden shift in wind broke up the ice cover on Superior Bay between 10 and 11 AM today resulting in 35 ice fishermen being stranded on the thin ice and in need of rescue.

You can see the tiny ice houses (tiny black dots) prior to the shift.

This video shows the shifting ice over a 60 min period.

  6. Doesn't seem like it has been cold enough long enough for the ice to be safe. I'm not from Duluth but we do have fairly severe winter here in Ohio and do see ice some winters.
