In a storm the high winds jam ice onto shore, creating hills and valleys, which then get eroded from the lake side as well as from underneath. There’s often ‘volcanoes’ in these formations, with water spewing out of holes in the hills/valleys as waves come to shore. it’s like an icy Old Faithful geyser!
Likely, from waves pounding underneath an ice shelf. Ice forms on the open water, wind pushes it to shore, jamming it together creating little hills of ice, often with water under the hills, making it dangerous to walk on them.
Very interesting…how does that get formed? It wouldn’t seem that there would be much receding water.

Fascinating, but perplexing. Would it have been worn away from the water side?
