Build-up: Inside the Eben Ice Caves

Build-up

Build-up, photo by nasunto.

“The drips of water falling from above created wonderful echoes and added to the cave atmosphere. There is much variation of color and texture to the ice in different parts of the cave. Some formations were smooth and clear, others were bumpy and hollow-sounding, and there were some columns that looked like dripping candle wax.”
~Nina Asunto on being inside the Eben Ice Caves

This may be the latest I have ever posted a Michigan in Pictures. Busy, busy I guess.

Nina took this photo at the Eben Ice Caves, which are a very popular subject on Michigan in Pictures. In Monday’s Daily Michigan email (which I think you might enjoy as it is Not Too Terribly Long and also Filled With Michigan Stuff & Giveaways) we featured Nina’s video from these seasonally forming caves in the Rock River Canyon Wilderness Area.

Nona has a great blog called Black Coffee at Sunrise with writing and photos from some of Michigan’s coolest places, and her Eben Ice Caves feature is a must-read. View her photo as big as you like and see her other shots and the video in her Eben Ice Caves 2012 slideshow.
