KEWEENAW PENINSULA, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The U.S. Coast Guard has officially suspended the search efforts for a missing snowmobiler who disappeared off the coast of the Keweenaw Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula.
The search began Thursday after officials received an image of a message from the driver known as Bruce. The message read, “Got to close to the water to check out the view. Iceberg snapped off and I am floating to Canada. It’s melting fast…..send help. Bruce.”

After aerial and sea searches, the Coast Guard concluded ice conditions and weather did not support the right conditions to support an ice floe large enough to carry the weight of a snowmobile.
