Watch the moment a group of kayakers narrowly missed sandstone cliffs collapsing into the water just yards in front of them on Lake Superior in Michigan. Nature photographers happened to capture the moment on camera.
Maxim Rigaux was in the kayak closest to the rockfall."We noticed it first when some little rocks fell down just next to one of our guides who was just under the cliff," he said.The guide paddled away, and even bigger rocks began raining down.Rigaux started recording and captured video of the massive rockfall as entire swath of the cliff cascaded into the lake, raising a plume of water and dust."We had no idea if there would be even more rockfall," he said.
he colored sandstone cliffs rise up to 200 feet high. They're notable for the vertical mineral streaks that make them look like naturally painted abstract murals in some places.The power of Lake Superior shapes the coastline on the the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the National Park Service says."The slope has been over-steepened by waves pounding away at the bottom of the slope," Richard Ziegler, a geology professor at Northern Michigan University, told CNN affiliate WLUC.
