Cold Lighthouses of Lake Michigan

Environmental and scenery photographer Tom Gill has been recording the natural and man made amazing things of the south eastern portion of Lake Michigan, particularly lighthouses, for several years. During wintertime season these lighthouses become hardly identifiable as amazing frozen ice structures turn them into amazing sculptural forms.

Gill’s favorite lighthouse is the 35-foot St. Joseph that was first built in 1844. The mild house would often receive a dense part of ice during winter stormy weather when freezing waves up to 6 metres high crash into the piers. The air temperature falls 20 degrees below zero.

The external mild is over 100 feet from the inner light, and there is only about a two or three feet wide direction between the lighthouse and the frigid lake.  In winter, that direction is often very slippery.

Photographer Says :
“This year, many people ventured to the outer light, but not many dared go around to the windward side of the outer light. While I've seen hundreds of photos from the shore and the pier, I've only come across a couple of photographers who braved it and ventured out around the tower - me, my son Chris and another person who posted his image on Flickr”

Ice Cavern In Skaftafell, Iceland

Ice caverns are short-term components that appear at the advantage of snow. They look incredibly wonderful from the within. This particular cave is on the freezing lagoon of the Svínafellsjökull glacier in Skaftafell, Iceland. The hundreds of years old ice arriving down the runs of Öræfajökull via Svínafellsjökull glacier has metamorphosed into extremely condensed glacier ice that contains almost no air pockets. The deficiency of air indicates that it takes up almost all noticeable mild, apart from the azure portion which is then noticeable to the undressed eye. However, this azure ice can be seen only under certain conditions. It can be seen during the freezing months months season after lengthy stretches of rainfall when the top area part of the glacier has been cleaned away. It can be seen in ice-caves like this one and on sailing icebergs that have lately combined over.
