Apostle Islands Ice Caves

in the Winter the sea caves turn into ice caves and the main thing we can enlighten people to is that there is more than one Apostle Islands Ice Cave location. As a matter of fact there are more than one mainland ice cave locations, you just have to know where to look and we have provided a map below. Anything that is a sea cave in the summer becomes and ice cave once icicle start forming on the sandstone ceiling of the cave. The best ice caves are in a location where the water flows over or seeps through the sandtone. Anywhere that would have a tiny waterfall after summer rains is an excellent place to look for an ice cave after sub zero temps. Some of the best sea caves do not have much water that flows to them, so they are not as impressive at ice caves and some sea caves that get overlooked in the summer become the most amazing ice caves in the Winter because they have water that flows over or seeps through. The flow that falls over the cliff makes the largest formations and basically the taller the cliff, the taller the formation. The flow that seeps out of the sandstone can have wonderful clarity and shades of blue and finding the seeps are not as predictable as the frozen waterfalls. The Bono Creek Caves is one spot you’ll notice does not have much flow or seepage, Roman’s Point get some of the best.
