Moose rescued: Ice-skaters smashed ice on frozen lake to rescue moose - TomoNews

ORNSKOLDSVIK, SWEDEN - A video uploaded to YouTube on Wednesday shows the nail-biting moment when a pair of ice skaters in northern Sweden risked their lives to rescue a moose that was trapped in a frozen lake.

Viktor Johannessen and his partner Sigrid Sjosteen were skating on a lake near their home when they spotted the moose. The couple returned with an axe and tried to rescue the exhausted animal by smashing through the thick layers of ice.

The pair took turns pummeling the ice for 30 minutes straight. They eventually managed to clear a path for the moose to get to shore, and the animal clamored back onto land and disappeared into the woods.

The video, which was uploaded last Wednesday by Johannessen, has racked up more than half a million views.
