As winter officially sets in along the Lake Huron shorelines, the many local municipalities are urging residents and visitors to admire the frozen lake from a safe distance.
Ice formations may seem enticing, but they are unpredictable and unsafe for walking. Unlike ice over standing water, Great Lakes ice is thinner and less stable due to constant movement underneath.
Hidden cracks and caverns pose serious risks, and one wrong step can lead to falling through or getting trapped.
Hypothermia can set in rapidly, making it challenging for rescue crews to respond.
For safety, it’s best to appreciate these natural wonders from the shore.
