It coincides with breakup on our version of an arctic ocean, Yellowstone Lake, which is the largest alpine lake in the United States.

That forest on the opposite shore in the photo above, really isn’t on the opposite shore. It’s an island. The opposite shore is way, way, way out there. Here’s a shot of the opposite shore:
