A FIRST: Raised land against a translucent enamel filled lake!
The Great Lakes are the world's largest system of fresh surface water. Its five lakes—Superior, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Ontario—are visible from the moon and hold about 20% of the world's freshwater supply. They were carved out and filled by prehistoric glaciers, and cover more than 243,000 km2 (93,823 sq mi). This is one of the most biologically diverse regions in Canada with more than 150 fish and 50 plant species, some of which are not found anywhere else on earth.
Lake Superior is the largest, coldest and deepest—just over 400 m (1,312 ft). It's also the farthest north and the most pristine of the lakes. Few people settled here because of the cold climate, and today the Canadian side is predominantly wilderness.
