  • A thick hoar frost clings to the trees, showing how cold it really is.
  • The event sponsor, the Elks Club, chipped a bit of a logo into a block of ice pulled from the hole they cut.
  • A few representatives from the Mat-Su Borough Water Rescue Team showed up in case they were needed. Dick Quinn, Mike, and Cliff Silvers.
  • Dick Quinn, the ready rescuer.
  • A failed launch from the slippery edge leads to a bellyflop.
  • Looks like he's ready for a cold impact, frozen mid-air during a jump.
  • A moment's reflection before the plunge.
  • Sandals in the dead of winter? Makes sense if you're going swimming I suppose.
  • A representative from the Alaska State Troopers took the plunge, ticket book in hand.
  • Fred and Wilma stand at the edge...
  • And they jump! Moments before a cold splash.
