Super. I'd love to see that in person (as long as I had somewhere warm to duck into afterward).
According to the information provided by Janne, the birds are enjoying exactly that:
"Kussharo lake is easier to access than lake Mashu. It's still volcanic, though; the lack of ice near the shore is due to hot water and gases percolating up from beneath the sandy bottom around the beach. The swans evidently appreciate the warm water a great deal too."
