An unusually icy spectacle transformed the Lake Michigan shoreline in one Wisconsin town. Ice donuts lined the lake’s edge in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, on Tuesday following an Arctic outbreak this past weekend. The town, located roughly an hour and a half north of Milwaukee, is known for its timber trading and commercial fishing, but now, it will be known for its stunning display of an icy occurrence.

In a video shared on Facebook, the town’s famous lighthouse seemingly looked small compared to the ice chunks that were floating in the water. Hence the name, the ice chunks resembled donuts as they bobbed up and down in the water.
