Are 'Ice Volcanoes' the new 'Ice Balls' along the Michigan shore?

Several thousand bowling ball-sized ice balls began washing up on the shore at Holland State Park. And to make it even more fun, some big bruisers, the size of beach balls and larger, were spotted bobbing in the Lake Michigan waves just offshore.

The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is the Great Lakes' most famous shipwreck. There are 9,000+ more; here's where to find them and how to explore the remains.

While many Michigan residents were busy stocking up at the grocery store and preparing to hunker down for a pending storm, a brave few suited up and grabbed their surf boards to hit the frigid waters of Lake Michigan.

The two walked out onto the pier a little before midnight. Both were swept off the pier by a high wave and into the near freezing water.

It turns out there was once a plan to build a canal linking the Clinton River on the east side, with the Kalamazoo River. This would have ultimately linked Lake Michigan with Lake St. Clair.

Surf was definitely UP!

Something called a "mid-latitude cyclone" swept through Michigan over the weekend. Up to ten foot waves were recorded along West Michigan's Lakeshore. Here's video of the big waves on the big lake Sunday afternoon.

It took 42 days to make it around the entire lake, and communities along the journey surprised Travis by joining in on the cause!

Michiganders and people vacationing from other states will have a unique opportunity to take a new 275 trail from Lake Michigan to Lake Huron.
