Wisconsin ice caves could be accessible again

BAYFIELD - Continued calm and cold weather could create the right conditions for people to access the ice caves on Lake Superior near the Apostle Islands again this year.

Julie Van Stappen is chief of planning and resource management for the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. She says there's a ``very good chance'' that thick and stable ice along the shoreline could happen if cold temperatures and low winds continue. But she says they should have a better idea next month.

The caves opened last Jan. 15 for the first time in five years.
