When I was a kid there was an old guy that used to walk on the ice flows for fun. He wore a fancy dry suit with ski poles.
By us we don’t see people but we see an occasional animal.
It was this bunny’s lucky day because my wife saw him floating by and yelled “oh my god” which got me downstairs in a hurry.
I cobbled together a net on a extension pole and scooped it up.
We now have a very nice, very sturdy net on a nice extension pole at the ready.

They spend the rest of the year underwater. They only come up this time of year to get a couple cartons of eggnog, before they go back underneath.

Author of the video Alexander told The Siberian Times that he went outside as soon as he saw that ice on River Tom started to move.
'We always go out to enjoy the sight of the ice breaking and beginning to move. Riding on ice floes is a typical kind of fun for our children and teens.
‘They do it every year. They get bored in quarantine, not everyone has a computer… I saw these guys jumping off that ice floe safely and walking away to find a new one.’

That’s… not a good design. Not quite a boat, not quite a pontoon. There are plenty of good reasons why the hulls of ships and boats look the way they do.
Maybe they should have teamed up with a couple of engineering students with experience in small concrete vessels.

Or looked into the rich history of concrete ships.

Looks like a scene from a music video.
