在密歇根湖海滩从冷冻、风雪和雪中形成很少的沙柱,在融化前几天一直存在。 Rare sand pillars formed on Lake Michigan beaches from freezing, wind, and snow, lasting days before melting.

由于寒冷的温度、积雪和强风,沿密歇根湖海滩形成的沙柱,即沙丘。 Rare sand pillars, or sand hoodoos, have formed along Lake Michigan’s beaches due to freezing temperatures, snowpack, and strong winds. 冻湿度将沙粒捆绑在坚固的柱子上,而雪将沙和30多米的风捆绑在一起,侵蚀周围的干沙,塑造结构。 Frozen moisture binds sand particles into sturdy pillars, while snow compacts the sand and winds over 30 mph erode surrounding dry sand, shaping the structures. 湖水层和冰层的波动暴露了新的沙层,使得形成更深的层层。 Fluctuating lake levels and ice expose new sand layers, enabling deeper formations. 这些精细的雕塑是暂时的, 仅持续几天后融化。 Resembling Utah’s rock hoodoos, these delicate sculptures are temporary, lasting only a few days before melting. 公众观看点包括密歇根西南部的Pere Marquette海滩和Tiscornia海滩。 Popular viewing spots include Pere Marquette Beach and Tiscornia Beach in southwest Michigan.
