Because of the flowing water the ice on a river may look equal in thickness from above but can have cavities under it from the eroding effect of the moving water. River ice is very unsafe to be on.

This guy skating on the black ice is fascinating to watch. I'd not want to get on it myself but I can see how it would be exciting and pleasurable to do so.
