In the middle of her work shift Sunday morning, Tori Burley received a text message from her father that gave her a tingle of excitement: "The blue ice is back!"
It had been seven years since Burley, a photographer who grew up in Mackinaw City, Michigan, spotted blue ice chunks along the Straits of Mackinac, the waterway that flows under the Mackinac Bridge, connecting two Great Lakes – Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
"I was at work and I was like, 'I need this day to be done now,'" Burley told Fox News. "The second I could leave I grabbed the kids and I ran up to the lake to take pictures."
Burley had plenty of company, from photographers and locals alike.
Dozens of people lined up along the shore to snap photos and crawl near the big blocks of ice, some towering over 30 feet tall. A combination of wind and the current pushed the chunks to shore, where they piled up on top of each other to build "mountains" of ice.
