Frozen Fins

This dreamlike image could pass as either a winter scene from one of the Oz books, or perhaps it could be mistaken for a shark-infested lagoon. In actuality, it’s the surprising result of Lake Michigan freezing. The ice was then pushed up as waters warmed beneath the frozen surface, causing it to break into these spectacular shards. Beautiful as it might be, it’s unlikely to attract a great deal of northward migration to the likes of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, or Wisconsin.
