Lake Superior froze over last week, creating an incredible phenomenon where the lake was completely clear - and several inches thick, making it possible to see to the bottom of the Great Lake.

In a video uploaded to YouTube by Chelsey Lynn Tweedale, you can see clear to the bottom of the lake as she seemingly walks on water."Many lifelong local residence have never seen the lake freeze over in such a manner," Chelsey Lynn Tweedale told Storyful.

The lake froze over like this on Feb. 1 and she took the footage, saying she's never seen it thick enough to walk on and clear enough to see through. "[The] ice was approximately five-six inches thick at the time, making it stable enough for people to walk, ice skate, and ice fish on," she said.. That made it a perfect time to see to the bottom of Lake Michigan. He said he's only seen it happen a few times in his 50+ years.that I have read and agree
