Ice dunes take shape across Lake Erie
PRESQUE ISLE, Pennsylvania – (WICU) The snow and bitter cold are transforming the Lake Erie shoreline at Presque Isle.
Waves are moving large chunks of ice toward shore. And with the bitter cold, the chunks are forming an icy barrier along the peninsula.
The dunes are valuable because they protect the beaches from erosion during severe winter storms, but they are also dangerous for park visitors.
