Frozen Lake Michigan looks stunning as blue shards of ice cover its surface as it begins to thaw
Springtime is here and how! The change in weather has reportedly left Lake Michigan covered in gorgeous shards of ice. The melting water on the lake has frozen in place, and ever since it has been looking like a stunning mosaic of blue tiles or preserved waves.
The gorgeous phenomenon was caused by water that is currently moving underneath the ice, as the lake begins to thaw with the onset of spring. As per the Daily Mail, the lake is melting quickly, causing the water to push up sheets of ice to the surface.
