Walking on ice is dangerous: Ice Cracks!

A few unsure steps, and what you are becomes what you were.

that's less of an ice "crack" and more of an ice "chasm"
very cool.

I like it! Really neat angle!

I'd not worry much about walking on ice that thick, but be very wary of driving a car out there.

That is some serious crack! I like the image and especially the POV

Thanks! I knew once I had it that it had potential. It basically has no reference point for size. To complete the illusion, I'd like to bring a small car or two and place around the entry to the Norse Hell!

Cool shot. We certainly never get ice that thick around here.
When I was younger, I used to do a lot of ice fishing. In the morning, as the sun was coming up, it was always very quiet. As the temps warmed the ice it would begin moaning and groaning. Sometimes you would hear a loud crack and you could follow the sound across the lake. Very erie until you get used to it.

Great POV, how thick is that ice? I am struggling to get a point of reference to judge the thickness.
6" or 6' thick, either way this is a great image, and very good processing BTW!

About the processing: I straightened it, converted it to bw and adjusted contrast - in the photoshop app for iPhone. The image is also taken with my iPhone, a large camera would not fit into the hole. The ice was about as thick as my iPhone 4s was tall 10 cm? And the chasm as wide as my iPhone was wide
