MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say they have rescued two Northern Michigan University students from an ice floe in Lake Superior off the coast of Marquette.
The Mining Journal of Marquette reports (https://bit.ly/1BYiPUF ) that crews rescued the Michigan and Wisconsin residents Thursday evening. The men were about 500 yards offshore, stranded on breakaway ice that was moving north and surrounded by open water.
The students were examined at a local hospital and released. Their names weren’t released.
Officials have advised the public to stay off the ice because it’s unstable and unreliable.
