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.
Tourists are drawn to these sunsets and it's alwasy a risk as it is getting dark and they could get lost.
