A cool video has emerged of serious wintery conditions on Lake Superior in Duluth, MN, USA on Tuesday.
The footage shows "erupting icy waves" crashing onto snow dunes which formed on the lake shore after strong winds and heavy snowfall hit the area.
"Strong winds and waves stacked the most colossal ice dunes we have witnessed in Duluth, Minnesota," the filmers Dawn LaPointe
and Gary Fiedler wrote online.
"The incoming icy waves caused frequent, impressive eruptions of ice chunks."
"It was incredible to witness the amazing power of our Great Lake from our front row seats in Duluth!" they added.
According to them, the snow dunes were between 15 and 20 feet tall while the icy waves erupted up to 20 feet above them.
