The frozen Lake Michigan shore is always interesting, but as the ice begins to melt, even more interesting things can happen. With a little imagination, the shore can create some fun stories.
For instance, this ice mound takes on the appearance of an alien ship that landed on the shelf ice. Here, people are carefully approaching the craft to investigate the landing craft.
Just a few hundred feet away, negative footprints lead out onto the shelf ice. Perhaps related to the alien ship in the photo above? Most likely, these were hard-packed footprints in deep snow that filled with sand, blown in by the wind. When the ice began to melt, the sand shielded the ice from the sun, and the packed ice melted slower than the surrounding ice, leaving these stepping stones on the frozen lake.
It's a bit early for April Fool's day, but fun none the less.
