For six of the 45 submillimeter sources recently cataloged in the GOODS-N field, there are no clear candidate 24 μ m counterparts within the 2σ radius error circles, whereas one would expect only a couple such cases. One explanation is that the redshifts are larger than 4 so that dust does not strongly emit in the observed 24 μ m passband. We have compared 3.6 or 4.5 μ m Spitzer GOODS data with I and Z band Hubble ACS GOODS data for these six error circles and find two sources detected at 3.6 μ m but undetected at I or Z. Supposing that rest frame far infrared ice emission can extend the redshift range over which submillimeter sources can be detected as we have recently proposed, the absence of I or Z band emission may possibly be explained by Gunn-Peterson saturation with the shortest detectable wavelength falling in the near infrared similar to HDF 850.1.
