Alaska Ice Safety: Know Before You Go

Alaskans, be cautious on frozen bodies of water! Ice recreation is popular, but thin ice poses dangers. Understand ice thickness varies, and safety should never be assumed. Rotten ice, appearing cloudy or white, is particularly hazardous. Moving water, like rivers and creeks, is dangerous due to uneven freezing. Always drill test holes, consider snow accumulation, and know the required ice thickness for your activity. Prioritize safety: measure ice, use judgment, inform someone of your plans, and carry a communication device. DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
