Icy Lake Superior Looks Like Breaking Glass Along Minnesota’s North Shore

SocialICE 2016 might be getting all the attention right now, but a different kind of ice from Minnesota has been making the rounds online as well.

Instead of the blocks of ice that are being transformed into seven different ice bars for SocialICE in downtown Rochester, the ice breaking up on Lake Superior along Minnesota's North Shore has created a mesmerizing video that's gone viral.

According to the comments posted with this video, by RadiantSpiritGallery, the phenomenon is known as 'ice stacking,' and it occurred as the ice from Lake Superior near Duluth crashed into the rocky shore and appeared to shatter like large sheets of glass.

And while the video is pretty cool, it must have been even more impressive in person. According to the video, "The seemingly endless ice sheets broke into large plates and stacked on shore, sounding much like breaking glass. The ice thickness ranged from about 1/4" to about 3" thick. The sights and sounds were incredible!"

So while you may not be able to get your favorite drink with this ice (like you can during SocialICE), it's still pretty hypnotizing. Check it out...
