Sea Smoke at Split Rock Lighthouse (-21F air temp)

This morning's ambient air temperature was -21F (-29C) and the waters of Lake Superior continued to cool quickly and form thin ice. The rising water vapor formed a winter fog known by names such as sea smoke, ice fog, and spirit fog. We sometimes think of it as Lake Superior's breath. This special fog glides gracefully across the lake's surface with the slightest breeze. As the sun broke the horizon, the sea smoke was painted in hues of pink as it danced skyward.
