Ice is cool. (pun intended)

[Jay Auskin]

I live close to Lake St. Clair in Michigan, and near the mouth of the Detroit River. This part of the lake has a lot of currents, and creates some cool ice movements. Unfortunately, I couldn't capture the sound all this ice was making, but thought it looked cool.

Best viewed in full screen. Enjoy!

Two things about the ice on my pond that are cool. 1) When the thick ice cracks the lake "sings" due to the sound bouncing off of the bottom. 2) Before it gets thicker than 1/2 inch the layers moves with the water surface. The sound it makes at that stage is like a glass wind chime.

Very cool. Winter is beautiful in a deadly sort of way.

No kidding! The noise the ice was making was very...let's say humbling.

Make sure to be further North if ice fishing. The currents, as you see are no joke!

I've been caught paddle boarding there in some tough wind. Great fishing there, hope you get a chance soon.
