Photos: Greenland? No, Cape Cod

[hatrack]

Sticking out into the Atlantic Ocean southeast of Boston is a peninsula susceptible to an occasional winter blizzard.

This winter, however, Cape Cod was walloped time and again. Towns from Provincetown to Wellfleet and Falmouth were pummeled by multiple historic storms and extremely cold conditions, with snow depths exceeding two feet as recently as last week.

The cold led to the bizarre site of "slush waves" on Nantucket Island in February. Now, new photos show the unique conditions that are affecting Cape Cod communities as the harshest winter weather finally begins to ease.

A Wellfleet-based photographer, who goes by the alias "Dapixara," has captured awe-inspiring images of icebergs tossed ashore by winds and waves. Satellite imagery had detected an extensive area of sea ice in Cape Cod Bay during February, which had not been seen during the milder winters of recent years.

1. Salt ice - always an awesome sight.

Just not so much of it at one time, please.
