Have you ever been to Lake Superior?

Lake Superior is 6 16 kilometers long from east to west, 257 kilometers wide from north to south, with an average elevation of 183 meters, a water area of 82 1000 square kilometers and a maximum water depth of 405 meters. Water storage capacity 12240 cubic kilometers, accounting for more than half of the total water storage capacity of the Great Lakes.

Nearly 200 rivers flow into the lake, with Nipigon River and St. Louis River as the largest rivers. The main islands in the lake are Royal Island, Postel Island, Mickey Picoten Island and San Ignace Island. The Great Lakes have a total storage capacity of 23,000 cubic kilometers, which is equivalent to the Baltic Sea, which is one and a half times larger than it, so it is called "North American Mediterranean".

The seasonal variation of water surface is 40 ~ 60 cm, with low water level in winter and high water level in summer. The water surface temperature is low, and the water surface generally does not exceed 4℃ in midsummer. In winter, the lake shore freezes, which can last for about 6 ~ 7 months all year round.

Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and other Great Lakes are located at the junction of the United States and Canada in the Central Plains. Among them, Lake Michigan is all located in the United States, and the other four lakes are shared by the United States and Italy. With a total area of 245,000 square kilometers, the Great Lakes are the largest freshwater lakes in the world.

Ontario in southeastern Canada borders the United States. From west to east are Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Most cities in Liunada are gathered here.

Lake Superior is relatively pure. The largest island in the lake is Royal Island, which has been designated as a national park by the United States.

The coastline on the north shore is tortuous, with many lakes and bays, backed by high cliffs and rock walls; How low is the beach on the south bank? There are about 200 small tributaries along the coast, including Nipigon River and St. Louis River, which flow from the north and west banks. Watershed area (excluding lake area) 127700 square meters.

The lake flows into Lake Huron through the St. Mary River, with a drop of about 6 meters and a swift current. There is a Su Saint Mary Canal that bypasses the rapids and flows between the two lakes.

The lake area is densely forested and rich in mineral resources, mainly including iron in Mesabi, silver in Thunder Bay, nickel in Hubei and copper in the south. The main lakes and ports are Deluce in the United States and Sander Bay in Canada. There are many woodlands, beautiful scenery and few people by the lake.

Lake Superior has clear water quality and many waves. Leng Xia is cool in winter in the lake area. There are many minerals in the lake, and there are many natural harbors and artificial ports.

Due to the cold climate and poor soil quality, only a few places along Lake Superior have been developed commercially, and most other areas are still in the state of virgin forest. Due to the wide water surface and deep water depth of Lake Superior, the weather on the lake will be unpredictable and there will often be stormy waves. Lake Superior was originally inhabited by the Indians of Beva. 1632, the French explorer Aidan Brullet found this beautiful lake while looking for the way to the Pacific Ocean.
