Lakes

THE FIVE GREAT LAKES, Huron, Superior, Erie, Michigan and Ontario compose the planet’s largest freshwater system. Covering 94,000 square miles, containing 5,500 cubic miles of water and bordered by 10,210 miles of shoreline, the lakes account for almost 20 percent of the world’s freshwater and more than 95 percent of surface freshwater for the Lower 48 states. Only the polar ice caps contain more freshwater.
