Thank you for submitting your lake or river ice observation. Your observations are helping Alaska science and public safety!

Observation Guidance

Please create a new submission for each location and date. You may upload more than one photo for that location and date. Create a new submission if the photo is more than 100m away from the others. Observations from multiple places or times are very valuable and should each be submitted separately.

All submissions are immediately received by UAF scientists and National Weather Service flood forecasters to provide timely information 24/7. They become available for public view once approved by the Fresh Eyes Team. Please send any inquiries to fresheyesonice@gmail.com.

*We also encourage submitting observations to the NWS River Watch Program (via online form) if you plan to note changing conditions during the freeze-up or break-up period.
