Warnings about Shelf Ice.

**Safety reminder**

Stay off and away from ice mounds that form on Lake Ontario.

Lake Ontario shoreline ice mounds

During most winters huge mounds of ice form along with parts of the Lake Ontario shoreline.

They may look compelling to climb on but they are EXTREMELY dangerous.

They can break apart at any time, they are very slippery and if one was to fall into the water on the lakeside of these mounds, getting out of the water is virtually impossible.

STAY AWAY.

Enjoy their beauty from a distance.
