Lake Superior: Circling the Sweet Water Ocean

Hosted by research social scientist David Yetman, explore the landscapes, peoples and history of North and South America — from the coldest towns in Canada to the tropical islands of the Caribbean.

Lake Superior: Circling the Sweet Water Ocean

Season 3 Episode 306 | 26m 46s | CC

Discover Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world that straddles the U.S.- Canadian border, the two nations separated on the east side by a busy portage canal. The lake’s icy waters harbor a remote national park, Isle Royale, an island large enough to support a lake with its own island. Before the arrival of Europeans, Lake Superior was home to vibrant cultures and vigorous trade in copper.
