- Duluth, MN, Lake Superior, December 2013. Ice chunks as big as cars, geysers of frozen glop. A nice sand beach is under there somewhere. Check out my other Lake Superior Aquaman gopro stuff, where I go underwater Lake Superior (in summer) dressed as Aquaman to see what I can see in this northern beach town wilderness...
I always watch this when I'm homesick... I'll be back one day.
It's a beautiful place to live. I'm a resident.
Don't let Nestle get its greedy, corporate hands on this most valuable of all natural resources, fresh clean water. Protect our Great Lakes!
Worry about BIG OIL
I agree, the Great Lakes water belongs to the "PEOPLE" of the Great Lakes states, never the corporations.
Exactly E Mack! I hate seeing all the Minnesota and Illinois plates in Ashland in the summer!! Go somewhere in their own state and be disrespectful fucking litterbugs! Leave filthy messes for maids at motels in your own shitty states! Hayward doesn't want or need any of those assholes either!
@@dansmolen1618 oh, but those are environmentalists. Everyone in Chicago is. Yeah, they purchase 4x as much as the average consumer, but all those are "green" products. The more you buy, the better the person you are!
Absolutely amazing! The Great Lakes have me mesmerized!
I'm from the Minnesota twin cities area, and I recently visited Grand Marais, Mn in the winter. Superior is beautiful, yet haunting and overall mesmerizing. Despite all the things I did in Grand Marais, I could not stop gazing back at the lake. The sky was very dark that day which only added to the eeriness.
Eerily beautiful, almost like a science fiction movie...
As a kid I once walked about 2 km out on the ice right to the edge. The water was black. I'll never do that again! Thanks for sharing this vid. Sent shivers up my spine.
Unaccompanied?
Most adults are smarter than this guy. It set off warnings in me too.
wow, if I was'nt holding back my emotion I would be in tears.. It's beautifull..
Wow! There’s some rugged northland beauty for ya! Thanks for sharing! I think everyone here should pitch in and buy you a drone for next time!
True story. I was there on the shore of a scenic spot in Duluth when I saw these moving ice shelf. It was eery AF. So I went closer and tried to step on one of the moving shelf. The ice thinking it had to be relatively thick. Damn pieces separated and sent me straight in the water. Luckily it was only about waist deep or I would have been in serious doo doo. My gf was freaked out when I fell in.
Same thing happened to me -- yes, getting footage like this is not recommended
Looks really amazing. Oddly satisfying to watch. Great capture!
I have stood on that very beach when the ice was piling up and moving inland over the dunes. Your footage is awesome but can't show all the power. Thanks for bringing me home again!
its like the ice has weighed down the water making the waves too heavy to lift up. gorgeous footage
Great vid, bit risky walking on that ice.
Thanks for sharing this video. I have been watching the web cams of that bridge in the background all winter. What a winter you have. We in the Netherlands are happy when we have 3 weeks of frost in a row. I hope spring will arrive soon for you.
Yoopers are a crazy breed! ✌️ from a troll
OMG this freaks me out. I'm literally woozy and breathing hard watching that deep, cold water so close-up, and only some ice between the feet and that scary water. But it's a great job of recording, because it feels like I am right there...and the music goes well with it!
The power of those lakes
Beautiful video. Magical.
...dig your vid,....good waves at the sand beach, means great surfing up the shore !
Okay I watched this video but it totally freaked me out that is scary! LOL, beautiful but scary!
Very cool perspective and very cold 🥶 too no doubt! ❄️
Powerful, humbling.I would love to see it as close as possible. That lake is like the ocean. You can't see the other side.
True of all the Great Lakes -- you can't see the other side. They're really inland seas. If they were in Asia they'd be called seas.
Superior is bigger than how many states? There gas to ve unknown creatures at the bottom
@@convex7456 Makes you truly wonder about that. However, we DO know that there is one such ore carrying ship down there who foundered on Lake Superior in November of 1975, The Big Fitz. Pretty sure there are many others, however The Big Fitz is the most popularized shipwreck over all time when she went down.
I love that solid grey sky and dark slushy water. Winter is my favorite season.
u kidding me ? lol shit looks right depressing lol all cold and miserable trust me its way better when its summer lol
It's just a different kind of beauty.
+Zombie Killer The last 2 days some daylight was breaking through and i just coudn't help myself but smile
So to abstain the beauty and warmth of summer weather has its benefits, too ;)
Kackbratze56 . You learn to appreciate all seasons when you live in the temperate zone.
E Mack Actually I do come from Germany so I know how beutiful a winter can be but I'm also sucker for deserts. The unbelievable heat and dryness.
I loved the winters when I was a little kid. You know, Sledging and throwing snowballs and stuff. But this weather right now is just shit. Grey weather, grey landscape.
Snow at least looks clean and bright but this dim ambiente is just depressing. Living weeks without really feeling the sun on your skin or a blue spot in the sky
I grew up in Duluth/Superior. We used to play on the sky blue ice piles that were blown to shore during the spring. Awesome! Smelt fishing in the spring on the Lester River, and Moccasin Mike Road in Wisconsin. It was a great place to be a kid.
I totally concur with the other comment(s) that walking on shore ice on the Great Lakes is extremely treacherous. There is no way to tell when you are no longer walking over sand, but walking over water. Huge chunks of ice can and do break away due to the wave action undercutting the ice. Every year here in Chicago several people go into the lake accidentally while taking such walks on ice, and not all survive.
Lake Michigan when frozen, the ice will buckle and create very beautiful ice formations. I grew up in Michigan and love to explore all the frozen ice formations in the Grand Haven area.
I remember photos of this and it reminded me of some end of days movie I'd seen about a new ice age LOLOL - it was INCREDIBLE ice as far as you could see .... I was SO glad I lived in the south when I saw those .... can't believe you got out in it ... but thanks for this great video
0:28 to about 1:30. The lake looks like it's breathing. A living thing.
I'm always amazed by the differences between fresh water and salt/sea water. There are many. Thank you.
Now that's a LAKE.
Very creative. Thanks.
Lake Superior does breathe. I've seen it in summer and in winter.
That's amazing
It has a pulse.
My father was from Mackinaw City, MI. Quite before the bridge was built, 1940s, he would walk often from the City to St. Ignace (Upper Peninsula) on quite stable and strong ice. Of course, this footage shows a pack not quite that solid but
obviously the winters may have been colder then.
That's about a 4-mile walk across the Straits of Mackinac. Are you sure he walked it all?
Great video!
Hey "gonzonomicron", you do have gonads of steel sir! However, and I mean no disrespect, but did you have a plan if you accidentally fell into the water? Like a wet suit and emergency personal beacon or anything like that?
It just seems that if a person, wearing only standard winter clothing, fell into that water alone between those little icebergs (around 0:57), there would be little hope of survival.
Only reason I braved it is that the water is very shallow there, 3 feet deep max. That said, I was doing the same thing 3 years later and DID fall in as the ice shelf collapsed. I barely got wet as I landed ON the pile of ice in the water and scrambled out with ease. That experience taught me never to do it again!!
@@gonzonomicron Good, because that's like the old saying, treading on thin ice. Never want to mess around with it ever again. At any rate, good that you survived, could you imangine what it would be like with all 29 men who perrished on the Edmund Fitzgerald down 500 feet on the bottom of Lake Superior?
I agree. Really stupid! And then he video tapes it and even adds music! My God.
really great footage! nice work.
Beautiful video
I love Michigan
This isn't Michigan ROFLMAO
awesome view thanks for sharing!
Yeah this winter was nuts.
Haja coragem impressionante! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏
Wow, that's cool, i just went there and uploaded a video from the trip. Nice footage!
Mother Earth is alive and breathing....
Very cool Vid
Incredible soundtrack! Wow. Who is it?
سبحانك يا الله ما اعظمك 🇸🇦🇸🇦
we would get the same effect at Shelter Bay Michigan, same lake, same freeze :)
Same monotonous boredom, too ! 🙄
something about this is deeply horrifying
There is still ice in there. It's not melting this summer.
Yes. I remember that. Well into *June* there was still ice in Superior back in '13.
WOW!
Maravilhoso
they said that 90 percent of the lakes were frozen over
I was at that same spot just a week later!
Looks like the Artic.
It was brutal and horrorific here in sartell!
Do you know how dangerous it was when you did that
You have the wrong shoes my dear.
Greetings 🤗 from 🇨🇭
I feel like my last moments of life were here
I'm guessing before editing two words were said @2:14.
Go pro on a stick! Sweet
hahahaha looks like you got nailed by that wave
Great music. Who's the composer?
The composer is "Huma Huma" and the title of the song is "Eureka."
Thanks.
one wrong slip and gordon lightfoot will be singing about them

It wants to go back to being a gigantic iceberg. She's pissed off that she can't get exactly what she wants.
Is it planet earth?
It looks like she's breathing :)
ace
Why is the water so dark? I know it's not pollution b/c Lake Superior is the cleanest of the Great Lakes.
Thanks for your question. That is sand and vegetal matter getting stirred up by wave action. Footage from a week later, on a calmer day, shows clear water.
Probably mostly because the sky is dark. Water in the lake mostly takes after what it's reflecting. She often looks like that on cold winter days. The water also probably has sand in it, as that beach is pretty shallow pretty far out (I love that beach, just a bit after the lift bridge- I'm from Northern Wisconsin, but visit Duluth often and that beach is a personal favorite of mine on Park Point).
@@gonzonomicron Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Heres a stupid question. Since Superior is a clean, fresh water lake, as you have said, would it be possible to take a cup out there, say in the summer time, scoop up some water and drink it right then and there?, or would it be to riskey and dangerous to do that? I'm thinking, no because there are big ore carrying ships on that lake, and also people with their personal boats and motor engines do require gasoline and oil to run them. However, what say you, sir? And I ain't to far from Lake Erie, just four counties north of me here in Beaver County Western Pennsylvania.
@@danbasta3677 You could certainly drink it with little effect, as it is the cleanest. Yes there are pollutants however, like mercury in fish, and other widely dispersed industrial pollutants which is an international problem not limited to the Great Lakes; also that is not a problem that is going to sicken you after one cup of water, but rather cumulatively over a lifetime. The more immediate concern is bacterial, with dog walking and seagulls pooping etc, but regular bacterial monitoring occurs up and down the shore and identifies problems as they occur. Normally those elevated levels only occur in limited locations and clear up within a couple days. Any water from the wild should be boiled before drinking as a rule, because you can't see bacteria. It's that simple. The risk is small but may be reduced even further, especially through prevention.
@@danbasta3677 I wouldn't necessarily take a drink from lake Superior without sending it through a water filter for a few different reasons one of them being the taconite tailing that big business dumped int to the lake for years. That being said 40 years ago I use to go canoeing in the boundary waters a hundred miles north of Duluth in Ely Minnesota. and you could drink the water right from the lakes. You probably still could but I would boil it first nowadays.
Newsmakers: Bayfield Ice Caves
It's insane to use the word insane. Just insane.
omg i live there
They were aiming for you.
ice water mansion ideed
Filmed in boring Dull- luth, Sotasota 🙄
Get in there & swim around!
...done !
Wouldn't be able to do it, even in the summer time, the Great Lakes never warm up.
Anyone for a slushy?
Ice-Fishing anyone?
Horrifying.
AND YOU WONDER WHY SO MANY PEOPLE WANT TO LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, NEVADA, ARIZONA, AND NEW MEXICO,
it's so secluded and nice, though.. This is in Minn, but the U.P. is the shit
Just moved from California to Minnesota and its the best decision ive ever made. There is nothing more beautiful than the winter. I hate the desert!
Because their soft, like crowds & a high cost of living ? Gangs,crime & high stress living ? Am I getting close or right on ?
@Dave Aaron You're right! I do wonder why so many people want to live in CA, NV, AZ, and NM. ;)
Yes. *Pristine* is the best word for the area. I joke that all the cold and ice keep the riff raff away, thus lower than usual crime rate compared to cities of same size that are further south than MN, WI, MI, Dakotas, etc.
According to real science in a few years you will be able to walk out tens of miles on a frozen lake... Initially.
During especially cold winters, that can already happen, however out over the deepest, furthest from land parts of the lake, there's almost always open water.
Something you definately don't want to chance it.
@@danbasta3677 In Minnesota we drive our cars and trucks across frozen lakes every winter.
Get out the ice breaker.
People are stupid, you won't last 15 mins in that cold water, freeze to death!
Ray's Boating and Adventure The floating Bergs would crush him before he froze.
Great video - but I'm disturbed (environmentally) by just how filthy the water looks.
Thanks for your kind words, and no need to be disturbed, Janice. I'm happy to report, for your information and for other viewers, that Lake Superior water quality is excellent and we enjoy some of the best drinking water in the US. In this case what you are seeing is not pollution but simply a slushee of sand and icy water. In the summer there is a cute little sand beach under there that compares favorably to any beach in the world. Since I do my underwater GoPro swim videos here, I monitor the bacteriological testing that occurs in the area during the swim season and there is rarely a problem (in general, even after big rainstorms which supposedly wash more crap into the water). Water clarity varies widely from day to day on this stormy lake, so the darkness of the frozen sand-beach slush doesn't surprise me. Other days it is crystal clear. The place depicted in the video, a few days later, was calm, clear water with a floor of rippled sand.
gonzonomicron Janice Leavey I was born in Detroit and grew up in Michigan. I remember those cold gray skies well. Your choice of music for this piece was perfect by the way. As a teenager back in the 70s my brother and I use to take his 26 ft boat from Lake St Clair up to Port Huron in the summer. Like much in Michigan, that trip was beautiful and great fun. The water was so clean and clear you could see what seemed like 50 feet into Lake Huron. I only ever visited Lake Superior once, and that's too bad. Despite having traveled in 44 of the States and a dozen countries around the world since leaving Michigan, I still think the Keweenaw Peninsula, the Superior coast, Sleeping Bear Dunes... well, the Great Lakes in general are some of the most naturally beautiful places I've been (in the summertime of course). And yes, the deep water is as clear as something out of a bottle in the grocery store. I left Michigan for the West back in 1980, and I haven't had the chance to visit my home state since 1982. While I love my adopted Southern California home, I will go back to Michigan for a visit one day hopefully soon. Thanks for this interesting video. It really catches the mood of the region in winter perfectly.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful feedback. Good luck to you in your journeys.
+gonzonomicron I believe the water is quite clean. Lake Superior whitefish and smelt are the best!
+Janice Leavey Lake Superior is incredibly clean. I have paddle-boated on it in the summer, and it is crystal clear.
This is why i live in texas
A toast to thee, Winter Wimp.
That water appears to be a nasty brown color........
It is sand churned up. There is a beautiful sand beach under all that ice. On calm days it is crystal clear! Lake Superior is the most pristine of the great lakes. Regular water quality testing throughout the area beaches during swim season catches few problems, and they are short-lived on those rare occasions.
