Lake Superior

• Lake Superior contains as much water as all the other Great Lakes combined, even throwing in two extra Lake Eries. Its volume is second only to Russia's Lake Baikal.
• Lake Superior contains 10% of all the earth's fresh surface water.
• There is enough water in Lake Superior (3,000,000,000,000,000--or 3 quadrillion-- gallons) to flood all of North and South America to a depth of one foot.
• The deepest point in Lake Superior (about 40 miles north of Munising, Michigan) is 1,300 feet (400 meters) below the surface.
• Over 300 streams and rivers empty into Lake Superior.

• The lake is about 350 miles (563 km) in length and 160 miles (257 km) in width.

• Travel by car around Lake Superior covers a distance of about 1,300 miles.
• The largest underwater formation in Lake Superior is the Superior Shoal, which rises from a depth of over 1,000 feet to within 20 feet of the water surface over a distance of just three miles.
• Sudden changes in winds or barometric pressure around Lake Superior can produce seiches, a phenomenon which results in water levels rising or falling as much as six feet along a coast in a short period of time.
• Water in Lake Superior is retained, on average, 191 years.
