“This video is being shown at normal speed”

Memorizing. It almost looks like CGI but this a completely natural scene shot from the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota. Here is what person that captured the ice stacking had to say:

“This video is being shown at normal speed. For those who have not witnessed an event like this in person, it may look as if this is time-lapse photography or video processed at a faster speed. Some ice stacking events move more slowly, especially when the wind is weaker or intermittent. The large sheets of ice shown in this video had pretty good momentum from sustained winds, but at one point the ice came to a groaning halt and the silence seemed almost deafening; it was a little eerie. Then the breeze picked up and the ice was on the move again, stacking plates. I enjoyed a two hour immersion in this experience at Brighton Beach, creating photographs and video footage and simply observing. This two minute compilation is a small sampling of what was recorded.”
