MUNISING, Mich. — Along the eastern shore of Lake Superior's Grand Island, giant icicles drip from the cliffs like fangs, a fitting reminder that winter in the Upper Peninsula has a bite.
While it can be brutal here, it's also beautiful. And the cold is the price of admission to see the ice caves of Grand Island.
"I think the ice formations are fantastic from a photographic perspective," said professional photographer Ian Plant of Victoria, Minnesota, on a recent visit to the caves. "I love the textures and the shapes and the colors, especially when the ice is backlit. It can be really beautiful and enchanting."
