A. The Great Lakes are a group of lakes in the mid-east area of North
America bordering Canada. Lake Superior is not only the largest
of the Great Lakes but also the largest freshwater lake in the
world by surface area. It contains more water than the other four
lakes combined. So much water, in fact, that it could cover the
whole of North and South America with one foot of water.
B. Lake Michigan is the only one of the five lakes to be completely
located inside the United States, the other four lakes are shared by
the U.S. and Canada. Technically, it is the same lake as Lake
Huron as they are linked by the Strait of Mackinac. The word
"Michigan" comes from the native American word michi-gami,
which means “great water".
C. Lake Huron is the eastern part of Lake Michigan-Huron. It was
actually the first of the Great Lakes to be discovered by European
explorers. One of the most interesting features of the lake is
Manitoulin Island, which is the largest freshwater island in the
world.
D. Lake Erie is the shallowest of the five lakes, its average depth is
only 19 meters. It is the largest freshwater fishery in the world,
boosting the economy by over 1 billion dollars every year. People
from all over the world come to Lake Erie to fish.
E. Lake Ontario is the last on the Great Lake chain and serves as the
outlet to the Atlantic Ocean. Throughout its history there have
been 50 people who have swum across the lake. The very first
person to accomplish this was 16-year-old Marilyn Bell in 1954.
