An iPhone has been frozen under the surface of an ice rink for about two months, after a worker slipped up and left his understandably angry daughter’s mobile device on the floor.

Skaters at an ice rink in Milton Keynes, UK, will see an unusual item below the surface as they travel around the arena. The newly-installed temporary ice rink at Willen on Ice has a pink-cased iPhone stuck in the middle of the ice.
Out of reach a few inches below the surface, the iPhone is clearly visible for anyone stopping to take a look, but it’s not able to be rescued. Ice Leisure director Rob Cook explained to the BBC that the iPhone will be stuck in position for two months since digging it out could affect the rest of the ice.
