Mackinaw Mags: This real? Ice Wave

This was sent to me from a buddy in MI. Is this real? Either way, very cool formation!

email text: : Ice Wave from Floor of Lake Huron

Amazing pictures up around Mackinac Island!!!

Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades.
Water expands to freeze, and at MacinawCity t he
water in Lake
Huron below
the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave.
I've seen pictures of this wave phenomena in Antarctica, but in Michigan? Yes, it's been quite a winter!

No, they've got it all figured out. The island is Mackinac and the town is Mackinaw City.
