Fun fact: (from Wikipedia) Manitoulin Island has 108 freshwater lakes, some of which have their own islands. Lake Manitou, at 104 km2 (40 sq mi), is the largest lake in a freshwater island in the world, and Treasure Island in Lake Mindemoya is the largest island in a lake on an island in a lake in the world.
@@NorthernForestAtlas Thank you for a great video, I love all of the UP and the canadian areas around, also may I ask what kind of drone are you flying?
Just west of Manitoulin Island is Drummond Island. Drummond was British held with a military base before and during the War 1812. In 1819, five years after the war ended, Drummond was awarded to Americans. Many of the residences decided to leave and go to British North American...British soldiers, natives, Metis, French trappers mostly. Many left for Penetanguishene 140 km NW of Toronto) Ontario where a naval base was being built and it had a strong French (and still does) community.
I can imagine how cold that water is because when I went for a swim in Moosehead Lake in Maine in July one year it was freezing but compared to the Great Lakes it’s just a spit of water and that doesn’t heat up very much so I can just imagine how long it would take to heat one of these giant lakes, really inland seas !! Thanks for a wonderful video, really enjoyed it !!
I know a former conservation officer from the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources who told me that when the MNR has a problem black bear, they tranquilize it and ship it off to Manitoulin Island, because the island doesn't have a lot of people living there, so the bear has little if any human contact. And the bigger black bears are the ones that usually cause the most trouble.
Thank you for the great vid! I live on the Peninsula shore and would like to remind people not to litter (particularly balloons). Every year I pick up hundreds of pounds of plastic off the shore.
Really have enjoyed your presentations of the geologic and floral ecology on the Great Lakes. Two years ago I sailed up to the Bruce Peninsula with the hopes of getting up to Manitoulin Island. Unfortunately the auxiliary engine had problems and we didn't get all the way to the Island. Your discussion of the ecology of the area has renew my desire to try again, once the pandemic recedes.
Some of this I've never known, even being a Michigan resident, born & still live here... of course I've obviously known of their geographical location, but just not any pertinent information, concerning their appearance excetera. Interesting :-)
Looks interesting. If only there were 1 week to 10 day small ship cruises along the northern shores of Lakes Huron and Superior with informative hikes and overnight moorages in inlets or bays.
There was no ice movement at all from north -east to south west. The west facing side of the peninsula has very rugged shore line, no sign of ice at all. Sharp edged rocks, high cliffs. However the west side ( Lake Huron ) is all smooth, literally washed clean. Supersonic winds cleaned it off and built it up on the east side. ( just like the way winds building snow dunes ) Hudson Bay is see level, zero meter, the peninsula is from about 180 to 260M if i remember correctly. What would make the ice climb uphill ? Check out Plasma Geology !!!
Look at the Grouse, look at the Grouse!... if you are there in mid October! The rest of the warm season... stay in the wind or be devoured. Just like the UP.
Misinformation alert: around the one minute mark, it is stated that the cedar trees are "Northern White Cedar". There is no such tree. Those would be Eastern White Cedar. You're welcome.
If you were able to read the Books in the languages they were originally written you would know it is not possible to affix a date. The number you quote was proposed during the creation of the Talmud, less than 2,000 years ago. And this channel is not about blind faith and received knowledge. Judge not
