Sea Smoke, Duluth MN

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Contributor and pilot AndrewAchter used a drone to capture a great winter scene on Lake Superior in northern Minnesota. The lake, which has a surface area of 82.1k square km (around 31.7 square mi.), is the largest freshwater lake in the world by that measure. The northernmost of North America's Great Lakes system, much of Lake Superior freezes during the bitterly cold winter months. Before it freezes, the vapor given off by the water causes the phenomenon you'll see in the video called "sea smoke".

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

This crazy effect happens when the air temperature drastically changes to below 0 degrees overnight and the water temps of the lake are still warm. Not the best conditions for drone flying! Thanks to @SkyCandyStudios for risking their Inspire 2.
