EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the incredible sight of a car gracefully traversing the icy expanse of Lake Superior between Bayfield, Wisconsin and Madeline Island. Taken on February 15,2014, during a period when an astounding 94% of Lake Superior was covered in ice according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sheer magnitude and beauty of our natural world. The Great Lakes, which hold one fifth of the planet's surface fresh water supply, were reported to be approximately 88% covered with ice at that time. This frozen wonderland creates an otherworldly landscape where cars can seemingly glide across vast stretches of frozen water. Photographer Eric Miller has captured not only a stunning visual spectacle but also highlights the importance of preserving these delicate ecosystems. As climate change continues to impact our planet, scenes like this may become increasingly rare or even disappear altogether. This photograph invites us to contemplate both the fragility and resilience found within nature. It encourages us to appreciate its wonders while urging us to take action in protecting it for future generations.
