Two red foxes were seen exploring shelf ice on Lake Michigan on Thursday, January 22. Nathan Voytovick, who operates Nate’s Dronography, captured drone footage of the two creatures climbing on top of the iced-covered lake in Saint Joseph, Michigan. “One of the most beautiful things I’ve seen,” Voytovick wrote in a Facebook post. The National Weather Service (NWS) said cold temperatures over the course of the week had allowed ice to build up on the shores of the lake. “Please do not venture out onto the ice! Shelf ice can be incredibly unstable,” the weather agency warned.
