Norwegian Guy Plunges Into Frozen Lake To Rescue Drowning Duck
When this bearded badass in Norway saw a duck trapped under the ice on the surface of a lake, he didn’t hesitate to leap into the frigid lake, shattering the ice, rescuing the duck and making a new feathered friend in the process!
As crazy as jumping into an icy lake may seem to most of us, that’s exactly what 36-year-old ice bather (and duck rescuer) Lars Jørun Langøien was already there to do anyway. When he spotted the duck, he was already in swimwear, so he simply dove in to rescue it and give it mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Now, some people are calling Langøien Karl, King of Ducks, and the name certainly fits!

This duck was out for a casual walk on the frozen lake
Suddenly, the poor schmuck got trapped under the ice!
Just its luck – Lars jumped into the freezing water to save the day!
All hail Lars, the new King of Ducks!

Dear Lars: God bless you richly your whole life long, for being the champion of his lovely creatures!
God Bless you! The true meaning of life is to respect all life! Bravo!
This is great... but why is there a "before" picture? Was he out there with a companion photographing the casually walking duck?!
You know it's a norweigian because only in Norway they wear the wedding ring on the wrong hand:)
The world would be a better place with more people like Lars - what a nice person.

Jesus, what an hero! Yes, that's what we need to do: Handling by heart!
Respect... You are mad, but a life did not end today, so you are the good kind of mad!
Does Lars Always Carry a towell, camera and someone to take pictures with him when he is going out?
All of you haters, don't watch these videos if you don't like them, and then to leave negative comments, shame on you all.
They both look exhausted at photo four, but the recovery was amazing! Hope the goldeneye learned from its mistake!

I would not have doubted for a second to do the same! Nevertheless, this man is a hero and more people should be as selfless as he is!
Poor schmuck? What kind of disrespectful writing is that? Have you never had an accident?
thank you, Lars!! bless all your love-induced endeavors. do you need anything? do you have a website to donate to?
Good on him! The fact he was there for it doesn't diminish the fact. Others wouldn't have.
Lars is an amazing guy and a true hero! This is a heart-breaking story with a good ending! Very admirable!

Lucky for the duck there was a real animal friend in the neighbourhood. Thnx Lars Great job
A lot of people have 'professional' cameras these days. And I am sure he was not alone when he decided to go for the swim.

Seems a bit suspect that they just happened to be photographing the incident.
he is not. actually, he hunts ducks in the season for hunting.

Sadly norwegians don't understand what the sauna could offer in their clima

A shop that sells towels. Since it was written that he was there for a swim it's fairly natural to assume that he's brought a towel with him

It was trapped under the ice. That's the whole point of the story.
