When powerful waves force snowball-sized balls of ice against the shoreline, the ice buildup can reach great heights, as captured by photographer Tim Wenzel in Grand Haven, Michigan. The 6-foot waves on January 24 resulted in an almost volcanic Lake Michigan landscape. This photo was contributed to Earth Science Picture of the Day, a service of NASA’s Earth Science Division and the Universities Space Research Association.
The city rests on the island of Montreal, at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. Major roads and industrial areas appear bright white, while residential and commercial parts of the city glow yellow-gold. The photo was taken while the space station passed over the Pennsylvania/New York border. Photo and information courtesy of NASA.
