Grandma floats away on ice throne during photoshoot
A Texas grandma who sat on a throne-shaped piece of ice in Iceland ended up needing to be rescued when it floated away with her on top.
Judith Streng said she was traveling in Iceland with her son, Rod Streng, when they spotted some people taking photos on the iceberg throne at Diamond Beach in Jorkulsarlon.
"It was shaped like an easy place to sit. You can tell by looking at the shape of it, and I thought well it looks like fun" ...
"When I got on it, it started to totter and a wave was coming in," Streng said. "A very large wave came in and kind of made the throne kind of rock, and I could tell that I was slipping off." ...
The ice chunk floated away with Streng still on top, but the woman was soon rescued by ... a Florida man who was boating nearby. ...
Streng said she has no regrets about the incident.
"I thought it [would] be quite fun. You know I always wanted to be queen. I mean, come on, that was my chance," she said.
