In the news: Frigid temps bring wintery scenes back to Lake Michigan

Posted February 12th, 2013 in Healthy Waters

Low temperatures and more characteristic winter weather have turned parts of Lake Michigan into a frozen lunar landscape – perfect for some chilly but scenic photography.

From Michigan Live:

“What a difference one year can make.

Last year Lake Michigan was nearly ice-free. But cold weather in 2013 has brought a return to the ice formations typical to West Michigan’s winter shoreline.”

Visit the link above for a great gallery of scenic shots from the frozen lakefront.

This Halloween, we’re diving into the eerie depths of the Great Lakes.

Each lake has its own spooky story:

🕯️ Lake Superior hides ghost ships beneath its icy waves...
🦴 Lake Michigan whispers tales of vanishing beaches…
🌉Lake Huron hides prehistoric hunting camps on a lake bottom ridge...
🧪 Lake Erie bubbles with algal blooms that glow like potions...
🦠 Lake Ontario was first to host strange creatures like the blood sucking sea lamprey.

Never fear, we have resources to help you make these fascinating topics less frightening at iiseagrant.org/education.
