A King Air scheduled flight from Sioux Lookout to Big Trout Lake was on a visual approach in whiteout conditions when the crew lost track of altitude while the captain was looking at approach charts. The aircraft struck the frozen lake, bounced and then landed hard on the ice. All occupants survived, several with serious injuries.
