The Blue Ice Phenomenon

The Blue Ice Phenomenon

Most of the readers who frequent my blog are not from Northern Michigan.

When I mention things that are regional to me, like natural phenomenon and geographic location, it can be lost on people.

For instance, the blue ice.

To me, it's something kind of cool that happens near where I live and I try to see it when I can because it doesn't happen every year....

This just happens to be a blue ice year!

The ice is actually kind of an illusion.... As, it's not really blue. When the ice forms, it's the lack of air bubbles and pure<b> water </font></b>that create the illusion when the ice sheets are pushed up to shore, allowing it to appear blue.

It really is a spectacular sight on a sunny day!

For those of you who sent me messages and wanted to know more, here you go.

The pic's are not mine, but they were taken within the last 5 days, I borrowed them from online.

Nope, not me, I haven't made it up there to see it yet. I'm going to try again this weekend, hopefully it won't be so busy.

    That looks amazing McLade, I hope you get a chance to see it for yourself!
I'm going to try again this weekend, but I'm worried it'll be gone. We're getting snow this week and a bunch of other weather elements.... I have to at least try.

Oh aye, and we do get snow over here, quite a lot up north, but nothing like the big dumps you get.

    Wow! I've never seen anything like that before
2019 was a blue ice year as well, but the ice was super thick. There were giant mounds of it all along the shore line... It was amazing. I kind of like the way the thinner ice juts up out of the snow, very pretty.

Blue is is pretty but I think it is the kind of ice that is really cold!

    That's really cool - I thought about the hunks of stuff in urinals when you said blue ice, lol.
    I've been to Ann Arbor but I didn't see any blue ice.
Ha ha ha.... Urinal ice. I've only ever seen the ice in the straits of Mackinaw, there is a constant current there, pushing the ice on shore. It doesn't happen every year, I think there are certain conditions that need to be met.

    Great photos, thank You for sharing.

    I may try to get out to Lake Michigan next week and see if I can find any blue ice as well.


Adventure time, it's the best! I hope you find some.

    When I lived in Anchorage I saw some of the blue ice at Portage Glacier and Portage Lake. It's amazing to see a huge iceberg that's blue! I've walked on the lake when it was frozen and stood next to an iceberg that was larger than a house. Nature is awesome sometimes!
That is amazing!! I envy you, I would love to be able to see something like that.

    Very beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I've never been to northern Michigan but hope to someday, more likely when it's too warm for ice though.
Summer in northern Michigan is amazing. I think it's the one thing that keeps me here.

    The ice is beautiful! And I usually hate the site of ice unless it's in my drink!
It is beautiful, isn't it! I hate snow and cold weather, but when I see stuff like this, it makes it just a lil bit more tolerable.
