If you want to see what ice stacking is all about, its power and weirdness, watch this comprehensive video. When I first got to the rock beach on 2/19/12, it seemed pretty quiet. I feel fortunate to live in a mid-sized city with all the amenities, yet within walking distance of the lake wilderness. This may be considered a typical sight within a stone's throw of downtown Duluth, Minnesota, "a city on the edge of a frozen lake at the end of the world."
