Singing Ice on FlatLake.com

We live off the road system on Flat Lake in Alaska. The lake had been frozen over completely for five days and I am checking the ice thickness to see if we can drive the car to our house. The ice is singing, a scary sound when you're standing on it.

@bato0r1 It's good to feel that way about driving on the ice. You have to be careful and make sure it's safe. We have to drive over the ice to our house for about six months each winter. There's no ot her way to get there. In the summer we drive our boat.

So what happens if the ice is not thick enough to drive on? You can't go home? Or are there alternative routes?

Sorry if I sound naive, but I live in Australia where we don't have anything like this. It's amazing!

@frankovich213 Hi Frankovich. I wait a little longer for the ice to get thicker. I'm already home and testing the ice out to our landing. If it isn't thick enough I just go back and wait. This year once we got out we drove to the landing by snowmachine and switched to the car there.  We were on snowmachines about a week until it was thick enough for the car.

Oh god, if you have the time again, PLEASE make a longer video of the ice making that sound.

I love that sound, I always have, but now in the city I don't hear it anymore....
