An 80-mile ice fracture on a huge lake was so big it could be seen from space<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Amazing footage captured from a US weather satellite<\/a> showed the crack as it appeared across the ice on Lake Erie.<\/p>\n

It was captured by NOAA’s GOES East (GOES-19) as the Great Lakes endure one of their harshest winters<\/a> on record.<\/p>\n

The satellite imaged the fissure forming on Sunday, Feb. 8, stretching from Port Burwell, Canada, to near Cleveland, Ohio.<\/p>\n

NOAA commented: “Maybe the ice really IS all it\u2019s cracked up to be on Lake Erie!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(NOAA via SWNS) By Talker By Dean Murray An 80-mile ice fracture on a huge lake was so…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[52760,52765,52749,52764,52758,52766,52750,5783,136,138,137,49774,52753,52754,52759,52756,52761,52757,52762,52752,52751,52755,52763],"class_list":{"0":"post-110387","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-erie","8":"tag-bodies-of-the-solar-system","9":"tag-climate-of-the-united-states","10":"tag-dean-murray","11":"tag-earth-observation-platforms","12":"tag-earth-observation-satellites","13":"tag-earth-observation-satellites-of-the-united-states","14":"tag-earth-orbits","15":"tag-earth-sciences","16":"tag-erie","17":"tag-erie-headlines","18":"tag-erie-news","19":"tag-meteorology","20":"tag-outer-space","21":"tag-satellite-meteorology","22":"tag-satellites","23":"tag-satellites-orbiting-earth","24":"tag-space-program-of-the-united-states","25":"tag-space-science","26":"tag-space-vehicles","27":"tag-spacecraft","28":"tag-spaceflight","29":"tag-weather-satellites","30":"tag-weather-satellites-of-the-united-states"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
