Video: Shrinking Winter Update: Researching ice coverage, documenting Great Lakes life

In “Shrinking Winter,” scientists work to understand the causes and potential effects of less ice cover on the Great Lakes, a documentary photographer and three longtime ice anglers reflect on changes to the winter fishing season, and a competitive speed skater reflects on the joys of “wild ice.”

This episode originally aired in February and was one of the team’s favorites this year, so we brought it back around for the holiday season with updates.

Great Lakes Now checks in with photographer Amy Sacka in an update on what she’s been documenting around the Great Lakes recently. Her project on the tradition of ice fishing was featured in our “Angling for Ice” segment.
