Published: 30 December 2023 at 04:33

More than 100 fishermen have been rescued from a large chunk of ice in upper Red Lake, Minnesota. The fishermen were stranded on the ice about 30ft from shore and were rescued with the help of emergency services and bystanders. This is the fifth rescue on the lake this month, as recent rain, wind, and unseasonably warm temperatures have caused the ice to become fragile. No injuries were reported. Authorities have warned people to be cautious on the ice due to inconsistent ice thickness.
