THE "ICE CAVES" OF LAKE SUPERIOR

We began the long hike over the ice on the south shore of Lake Superior to see the famous ice caves located on the peninsula way in the distance.  The ice caves are part of the Apostle Islands National Seashore located near Bayfield in far northern Wisconsin.   We joined thousands of others on a cold trek of four miles round trip. Reports were that the warm temperatures and high winds could soon bring an end to the ice caves for 2015.  Below are some of the photos from this trip.
