Sandstone Shoreline
A larger perspective of the shoreline with the sandstone bluffs facing the frozen Lake Superior. The first of the frozen waterfalls is seen here with its orange hue, caused by fine grains of sandstone imbedded in the ice.

On March 3, 2014, I had the delight of visiting the Ice Caves of northern Wisconsin.
The Apostle Islands Ice Caves have made national and international news this winter because of the rare opportunity to walk onto frozen Lake Superior and hike the mile to the caves on the shoreline. This happens every six to ten years or so, depending on the temperatures and their duration, making it safe to walk onto Lake Superior.
