Ice-covered lighthouse makes international news

Ice-coved lighthouse on Lake ErieThe Cleveland Harbor West Pierhead Lighthouse has made world news this winter after waves from Lake Erie, propelled by high winds, turned it into an ice structure.

The lighthouse was automated in 1965 and the Fresnel lens was removed and donated to the Great Lakes Science Center, where it is on display.

Now, photos of the lighthouse are on display the world over. After a local photographer took some of the first images of the ice sculpture forming, the lighthouse went viral, appearing on news outlets the world over, including Pakistan.
