I much more prefer seeing ice on these cave walls than on the roads I have been driving on. The ice formations on the caves of the south shore of Lake Superior are various colors including clear ice several inches thick.

And some of the cave tunnels reminded me of the Olympic luge track except I didn’t have a sled so in some of the tunnels, I just had to sit on my butt to slide out, but the caves were memorable to see.

Mother Nature is putting on a magnificent show this year so thousands are flocking to the ice caves on Lake Superior near Cornucopia, Wisconsin because it the first time since 2009 that the ice was thick enough to walk on to visit the sea caves. There was quite the crowd yesterday and while not the traditional Valentine’s Day gift, for the couples that visited the caves, mother nature probably made an impression on their soul. And there were a few caves that sort of resembled a heart to walk through for a close up view of the ice formations.
