The lighthouse is covered in a fascinating blanket of ice and snow.

Throughout the winter months, the two lighthouses are covered in a thick layer of ice and snow. This snow cover creates a very beautiful scene, with the structures resembling stalagmites found in caves.

The Lake Michigan lighthouse was built in 1844 and is often submerged in snow due to severe blizzards.

When the ice waves reached a height of 6 meters, they almost completely submerged the base of the bridge, at which point the air temperature dropped to -20 degrees Celsius.

The outer lighthouse is over 30 meters taller than the inner one, and the walkway around the lighthouse is only about 60cm to 1m wide. In winter, this walkway is very slippery due to ice and snow.

Photographer Tom Gill shared: “This year, many people ventured out towards the outer lighthouse, but no one dared go around it because of the wind. While I witnessed hundreds of photos being taken from the shore to the base of the bridge, I happened to encounter a few brave photographers who dared to walk around the tower.”

"After taking these photos, my son Chris and I, along with a few others, shared the collection of images on Flickr," Tom Gill added.
