Art of the Great Lakes
Art of the Great Lakes
Overview
The Great Lakes consist of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario. They are interconnected by straits, rivers, and canals. The Great Lakes are the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth by total area and the second-largest by total volume. (Superior is the largest by surface area, while Michigan is the largest entirely within the U.S.). The lakes are sometimes referred to as inland seas due to their size, rolling waves, strong currents, and distant horizons.
The Great Lakes Waterway enables modern travel and shipping by water among the lakes. The lakes connect ultimately to the Atlantic Ocean via the Saint Lawrence River as their primary drainage outflow. The lakes are also connected to the Mississippi River basin through the Illinois Waterway. (Co Pilot)
