Rescue authorities warn that the ice is weak in many places. At Easter, the rescue services also received alerts of people falling through the ice in Häme.
The spring sun has rapidly eroded the ice cover of lakes in some places.
Rescue authorities warn that ice conditions can be unpredictable and ice can be weak in areas such as lakes.
At Easter, the rescue authorities received alerts in Hattula and Heinola, for example, when ice had broken underneath outdoor activities. In Hattula, for example, rescuers rescued a man and a dog from the ice.
The sun makes the ice brittle after the snow has closed, and the thickness of the ice no longer guarantees load-bearing capacity. In just a few hours, the ice can become treacherous.
The Finnish Environment Agency updates the assessment of the ice situation based on measurements from 46 observation sites. Syke reminds you that you should not go on the ice based on just estimates and observations, because the quality and thickness of the ice vary greatly in different parts of the same lake and in different water bodies.
