Where is this?

Yes, quite amazing, so what are the ripples if they are not in water? The sand banks?

 

So what caused it? - - here, adjacent to Guillermo's is Googleearth's... an interesting challenge . . . Thanks

 

It could be the "froth/foam" from a severe gale? as the islands appear to be quite iced up...

 

I am still scratchin my noggin a bit!

 

If I'm not wrong: Clouds.

Cheers.

 

Still confused and incredulous, would love to see a clear image and explanation... I thought of underwater obstructions, but being non fair and not symmetrical, I would have thought far greater variability in wake - even for cloud of low level fogs??? - still cannot satisfy my "in a rut" mind...

I knew it was that . I didnt want to spoil your fun. I knew it was cloud wakes.
