Coolest thing I have ever seen

[William J. Decker]

In Mackanaw City (MI), they have had a very cold winter. The lake (Michigan) is heavily frozen.

Recently a crack in the ice developed (under pressure) and a huge wave erupted.

But, because the water was "fresh" (i.e., non salty, for those in AZ ), it, pretty much instantly froze (water,under pressure, has a higher freezing point)

The result, these huge, frozen waves.

Enjoy;

Nice, Will!

I've got some very old pictures in a box (somewhere) that show frozen wave on lake Michigan like that only they curl more.

The lake is beautiful winter and summer.
