According to Snopes, the photos are genuine but the location was Antarctica and the explanation was incorrect.

So, so sorry

This really ticks me. I should have checked first. . . Especially when it was hard to believe.

The photos are ok. See more and read at Urban Legends Reference Pages: Antarctica Wave

Anyway you look at it, Michigan or Antarctica, it is fascinating and beautiful.

What happened to the pics?

I don't know, but go here and see some of what the fuss is about. Still amazing photos and nice to know a bit more about our planet.
