The US Coast Guard in Michigan rescues snowmobiler stranded on an ice floe during a whiteout blizzard on Lake Huron.
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued a snowmobiler after he became stranded on a drifting ice during a whiteout blizzard off the coast of Mackinac Island.
Mackinac Island Fire Chief Jason St. Onge said fire officials were alerted at about 4:40 p.m. on Sunday, March 15, that a man had become lost on the ice, the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network, reported.
"The man was told (through a translator over the phone) to stay put, and that rescue was coming to him," St. Onge said.
Firefighters then advised the man to use his GPS to move toward their location while the chief and five other firefighters set out on the ice as part of the rescue crew.
Officials said the rescue was slow due to waist-deep snow, among other factors that made it difficult. The man then reached open water and became stuck on a piece of drifting ice, prompting a Coast Guard rescue.
