The video's author, journalist Māra Rozenberga, said that fields of ice stretch for several hundred square meters, but that the ice skaters had to avoid one spot where the ice was cracking suspiciously.
However, should someone break through the ice there, the unlucky person would be quite safe, as flooded potato fields are usually much more shallow than ponds or lakes.
However, as previously reported by LSM, Latvian farmers are not averse to swimming through their fields too, when conditions allow.
