Dog On Fish


This dog is standing on thousands of frozen fish! 

It is assumed that the fish were frightened into shallow waters by whales and the water froze solid before the fish could escape. The local temperature was about -8 C (17 F). Though other fish have been chased into the bay by predators before, this is the first known occurrence of getting trapped in the ice.

As the ice thaws, the fish will probably be scavenged by birds.
