Lake+Superior

If you ever are on your way to the mid northern parts of the United States and you stumble upon a endless sea you might be mistaken actually by the world’s largest freshwater lake (by surface). It has ”3 quadrillion gallons of water in it”.

The average depth of the lake is about 500 feet! There is enough water in Lake Superior alone to “fill all the other great lakes plus three more Lake Eries.”

“Many shipwrecks in Lake Superior are now protected in bottomland preserves and accessible to recreational divers.” Lake Superior touches three different states and two countries. Lake superior is said to contain 10% of earths fresh water. Enough water to flood the entire north and south Americas with one foot of water.
