Ice walker saved after being spotted on webcam 

A German man who got lost after walking out onto the frozen sea was rescued after a woman spotted him on a tourism website.

The man had walked out onto the frozen North Sea at St Peter-Ording in Northern Germany to take some photographs of the sunset.

But because everywhere was covered with snow he got lost and could not find his way back to the coast as it began to go dark.

However, he was saved from an icy death when a woman hundreds of miles away saw the flashes from his camera on a tourist website and contacted rescue services.

Officers located him and then lectured him on the dangers of trekking on the ice -- they weren't won over when he offered to show them his snaps.
