His body was only recovered the next day.
A swimmer died under the ice on a frozen lake in China. The incident took place in Zhangjiajie City, Hunan Province.
Need To Know reports this.
Lu Man found himself in trouble shortly after entering the water on Saturday, January 4. His body was only recovered a day later.
Lu was reportedly attempting a task that required him to swim under the ice from a hole in the ice to a cave, a distance of about 10 meters. It is believed that he lost his sense of direction while swimming and, despite help from others, became stuck under the ice.
Some experts say that because light under the ice is minimal, it is difficult for swimmers to discern direction. Light refraction and reflection off the ice can also create visual illusions that can make it difficult to determine where to exit the lake.
According to experts, the flow of water and the swirl in the ice can also change the position of swimmers, making it difficult to find the exit. Swimming under the ice can also cause a feeling of nervousness, which can further affect their judgment and decision-making ability. They reminded that swimming under the ice is completely different from being in open water.
