The U-S Coast Guard says a group of people and ice shanties were on a big ice floe which drifted award from Sherwood Point Thursday afternoon.
Rescue crews had to bring the 10 people back from the Bay of Green Bay using an ice breaker, two helicopters, an iceboat, and an airboat.
The Sturgeon Bay Coast Guard station says there were two additional rescues in the same area at about the same time, but local first responders were able to help those people.
Warmer-than-normal temperatures and high winds recently have increased the risk of ice breaking away.
