Video Shows Suburban Woman in Lake Michigan Alongside Ice Chunks

Images of Lake Michigan ice have been going viral on social media for days this winter, but one recent image is making waves not just for the frozen ice floating in the water. Vaida Guthmann shared a photo of herself immersed in the dangerously cold water, surrounded by an “ice lily pad formation.” The image shocked people almost as quickly as the cold water would, garnering hundreds of shares and just as many comments in one day. But Guthmann later shared that she had been training for the moment and practices cold water immersion daily.
