A Swedish couple was long-distance skating on the frozen ocean when a boat broke their "rink" into pieces, stranding them on a floe. Luckily, they were rescued in 12 minutes—and got some stunning pictures out of the deal.
There's something to be said about this couple filming an icy street corner from out their window, commenting on the passers-by who slowly but surely will fall victim to a certain slippery spot... Well, we're watching too, aren't we?
Two days ago, an "ice island" four times larger than Manhattan broke away from a Greenland glacier and is heading for the Nares Strait, and could reach the Atlantic Ocean within two years.

Is there a road sign that says, "Thin Ice: Do Not Drive On This Frozen Over Lake?" We thought such warnings would go without saying, but this unfortunate driver proved us wrong.
