Island Girl's April Ice Out Tour 2005 - Part 1, page 3
Cub Island, a two home island between Sleeper and Treasure Islands.
The ice just glimmers and melts in the sun. This is the view between Cub and Sleeper Islands looking toward W. Alton
Diamond Island looms in the backdrop of varying stages of ice melt. The white is thick and the gray is very soft and porous.
To the west, there is still snow on the trails of Gunstock. There is more open water here near the shore of Rattlesnake Island, with gray ice further out.
A closer look of Diamond Island and the north eastern shore of Rattlesnake Island. Open water, gray ice, open water, gray ice. It is spring on this side of the island.
Close to the north shore of rattlesnake, the mountains loom in the distance.
Further along... it is winter again on this side on the island. The ice is thicker at the tip of Rattlesnake, and there is snow.
From the NW side of Rattlesnake Island, that is Welch Island in the background. Lots of shore melting here. Click here for a movie of this view. (takes time to download)
