5. Lake Michigan has begun to thaw, creating a majestic sight.
Watch the video above to see photos taken along the shores in South Haven showing formations of ice shards.
Over half of Lake Michigan has been covered in ice this winter, but rising temperatures are causing the water below the ice to push the shards out.
While the ice may be beautiful to look at, the U.S. Coast Guard is advising people to remain a safe distance away.
