Stunning video showing sea smoke rise from Lake Superior as temperatures plunged across many parts of the US. <br /><br />In video filmed on December 26, beautiful steam-like plumes rise from the surface of the lake and even forming flame-like illuminations from the lighthouse as ice formed along Lake Superior in Duluth, Minnesota.<br /><br />Forecasters have warned US citizens to be wary of the arctic blast hitting a large section of the country, from the Midwest to the northeast, according to reports.<br /><br />Writes the filmer: "The morning was a breathtaking -17°F (-27°C) ambient temperature (-40°F windchill) by Lake Superior, and sea smoke was abundant. <br /><br />"Sea smoke is a winter fog that forms from evaporative cooling of the lake. When the frigid air moves over the comparatively warmer water, steam-like plumes rise from the surface and gracefully glide across the lake, eventually forming clouds that can deliver lake effect snow. <br /><br />"Our timing was fortunate during this shoot, and we were able to observe flame-like illuminations on the lighthouse. We have concluded that it was caused by the sun's rays being reflected off the top right window of the lighthouse and back-lighting the passing sea smoke.<br /><br />"We enjoyed the flame effect on such a frigid morning!"
