The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice. That’s what it is like in Lake Michigan where it is the coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.
This isn’t the North Pole — this is in Lake Michigan!!
These amazing iceberg pictures from lake michigan may or may not be authentic. We don’t know — however someone sent in these amazing striped iceberg photos and said “post these to the DTG Gallery” … they are amazing if they’re real, so — okay — here they are!
The author of this post writes :
Icebergs in Lake Michigan sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions. Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with melt water and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form. When an iceberg falls into the lake, a layer of water can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe. Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the lake.

Frozen Wave Pixs – Nature is amazing!

Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!! Now, that is cold!!!
