Last winter, freezing temperatures froze 56 percent of Lake Michigan, one of the largest lakes in North America and the only lake that lies entirely within the United States.
Spring solutions and the beginning of the melting of Lake Michigan led to the formation of ice shards. Where the liquid water waves push down the ice pieces of broken ice against each other along the coast. Ice is formed in a way that overlaps and breaks down to form one of the most beautiful images you may see.
