On the Move — They pulled their boat over and waited, as the ice began moving north. "The sounds of ice moving are incredible," said Keevil, "like being given a toast by ten thousand fine-stemmed crystal goblets." |

Ice-out! It's done. Another season is here.
Harold Keevil watched the North Arm of Lake
Temagami break up at 3:30. He boated up yesterday to his island in Sharp
Rock Inlet
Today when he left the ice had shifted and
jammed the narrows at Seal Rock Point. "We pulled around the back side of
the point," he emailed, "and spent an hour watching the ice move out for
good."
Ottertooth's test is the same every year:
Lakes in the northern-most portion of Temagami
still have some ice, but that will be gone in days.
This is the first time since 2005 that
break-up is in May.
