Welcome to Minnesota's North Shore!

Video #1 of 2 (7/10/2024):
Welcome to Minnesota! The film provides an initial natural history context of the North Shore as it meets with Lake Superior. The bedrock is mostly igneous, and it includes rhyolite, basalt, or gabbro. Formerly, there was the mid-continental rift. That was primarily responsible for the billion year old bedrock seen here.
Lake Superior, on the other hand, came from the receding glaciers that moved northward up to 11,000 years ago. To be honest, Lake Superior behaves more like a sea than an actual lake.

So calming. Thank you!
I've never seen her. Maybe some day! Of course, I believe a different time table.

Happen to know why Lake Superior smells something like potpourri?

[@prycedurnye9880]

I have not heard that before 🤔

@@prycedurnye9880 I was swimming in the area of Grand Island and it is unmistakable. Northern Lake Michigan doesn't smell like that. Just curious as to the causation, I recall the Lakes being very polluted back in the 1960's, BTW. Copper? Certain type of trees rotting in the water?

Damn dude. You should advertise this video as a sleep aid.
