A man admiring the sunset on the North Sea climbed over the thick ice to get a picture of it. He was located close to the town of St. Peter-Ording. He climbed over the ice from the coastal area and then became confused as to how to get back and darkness was setting in.
Luckily, a lady in the Northern parts of Germany, hundreds of miles away, had her webcam on and was admiring the same sunset.
The man did a very smart move which the lady saw on her webcam. He used his camera flash to hoping for someone to see it.
The lady did. As she was watching the beautiful sunset on her computer at her home, she saw the flashing lights and knew there was a problem. She let the police know what she was seeing.
The police then found the man also by his flashing light. They then started flashing the lights on their automobiles to help him find his was back to the coast line.
If he had not been found, he would have froze to death or could have easily fell through the ice.

A teacher of science was trying to take the head of a dead seal he had found on the beach in Boston back home with him to use it in studies.
He said the seal was already dead, and he simply cut off it's head and put it into a cooler to take back home with him.
As he started to get onto a plane in Boston at the Logan Airport, security officers checked the small canvas ice chest that was his. Inside they found the seals head.
The man was held and examined by federal and state officers. After they were finished with their questioning of the man, he was permitted to get on the plane, but the seals head remained behind. It is being held by investigators that work at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Office for Law Enforcement.
The teacher could be facing accusations under the Protection Act for Marine Mammals. He could be penalized up to $12,000 for a civil fine there. Then he could face up to another $20,000 penalty for criminal fines and a possible jail term of a year.
