ST. MARY'S RIVER -- The U.S. Coast Guard continues to clear a path to keep shipping on track in Northern Michigan.

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Biscayne Bay, a 140-foot icebreaking tug homeported in St. Ignace, Mich., cleared a path through the ice near Neebish Island Monday.

Biscayne Bay is underway in support of Operation Taconite, the Coast Guard's largest domestic icebreaking operation, encompassing Lake Superior, St. Mary's River, the Straits of Mackinac, and northern Lake Huron.
