Frozen Wave Phenomenon on Lake Huron
Frozen Wave Phenomenon on Lake Huron.

Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands to freeze, and at Macinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave.

This wave phenomena is seen in Antarctica, but in Michigan? Yes, it's been quite a winter!

I posted this last week in an open thread.

It was debunked.  the picture was taken in Antarctica and is caused by wind.

It is a hoax, though a beautiful one at that. The veins running through the ice make it look like a giant fillet of salmon...or something.

Huge waves----shaped by the wind!  Most beautiful!
