Police believe the man was not able to exit the off-road vehicle before it went under. RCMP were unable to conduct a search that night due to weather conditions.

On Tuesday, an RCMP drone was able to identify side-by-side tracks going from a shack to a pressure ridge in the ice.

The search for the man continues.
