Rescue efforts are currently underway for more than 100 people who found themselves trapped atop a floating ice chunk on a Minnesota lake Monday. The ice broke while the group was ice fishing on Upper Red Lake in Beltrami County. âIf you are on the ice and need to evacuate, head towards JRâs Corner. There is a temporary ice bridge to get across the open water,â wrote the Beltrami County Sheriffâs Office in a statement. âEveryone is walking across our bridge,â updated JRâs Corner Access on Facebook, sharing a photo of the wooden ice bridge at the southeast corner of the lake. Northwoods Fish Houses LLC, a company that operates on the water, estimated that some 200 people were on the iceberg when it broke away, according to the Daily Mail.
