MUNISING -- The Alger County Sheriff's Department has notified TV6 that a whirlpool has opened up on the ice on Lake Superior near the Grand Island landing.
They're cautioning ice fisherman and snowmobilers to stay away from that area.
The hole in the ice generally only gets bigger with time, but can be covered by a thin layer of ice in the current cold temperatures. This can be a danger for recreationalists venturing onto the ice as it can appear to be solid when covered by snow.
