Two hundred and twenty-four people became stranded on the ice.
One hundred and eighty-one were rescued by boat, from the larger floe.
A helicopter rescued forty-two from the other, while one man refused to be rescued by the helicopter.
Eventually a boat was able to rescue him, as well.
For Latvians going to the beach, even in the winter, is not an oddity.
Some were ice fishers, others out for a walk on the sunny day.
