Ice Fishing


This is a picture of my older brother Eric. You won't believe it, but he is fishing. He is fishing from Lake Superior in the middle of winter (January), when this part of the lake is frozen. He is kneeling on ice! Don't worry, the ice is very thick - about 2 - 4 meters thick, and covers a far distance. All of the lake that you see in this picture is frozen. You can even drive trucks and cars onto the ice. He uses special equipment for fishing and of course he dresses very warmly. The temperature was probably about -10 C when this picture was taken. This is near my parents' house near the US - Canada border.
