During the Winter months on the west side of Grand Island, you are treated to a towering wall of ice with many tones of blue. I jumped at the chance to visit these caves on such a whim because the forecast was predicted such great weather. The sun was shinning perfectly on the ice and made it shimmer so nicely. I think the sun actually brought out the various tones of blues too. Not only was it cool to see this large ice face it was an extra treat to see ice climbers challenging themselves to get to the top.
During the Winter months, the USCGC Mackinaw 30 is busy busting through the ice to aid freighters through the Great Lakes shipping channels and harbors. This heavy icebreaker is 240 feet in length and 58 1/2 feet wide (beam) and is the only one located on the Great Lakes.
