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.
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 !!
@@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?
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.
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.
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 :-)
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 !!!
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.
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.

So Beautiful ❤ living in a concrete jungle is killing my soul. God Bless
I commend you on such a 'spot-on' and yet beautiful comment...
I always look forward to summer visit to Manitoulin Island from Toronto.

Canada rocks on the Canadian Shield.👍
Ive skated to Treasure Island in the winter.
There are summer cottages on it.
I love vacationing on Manitoulin island in the summer
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you.
Very informative with photography and video illustrating the narrative content beautifully, thank you!

Outstanding!
Nice work.
Spent a lot of time on the Bruce in the mid/late 90’s. What a beautiful region of Ontario. Great place for orchid lovers too!

I'm a big fan of all your videos. Thank you.
Thank you for the note. It make all the effort worthwhile when people use them.

Great video, thanks for creating it.
Thank You !
Awesome footage thank you for sharing these are special places
What a great video! I really enjoyed it. I want to travel there and learn more. I’m from Chicago myself, so I’m not too far.
Thank You for your visit to the Island.
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.
Maybe they're condoms?
Very informative & Beautiful!
Very good, very professional. Thank you.
Thank you for making this video very informative for an awesome area. 👍👍

Great content. Keep it up.
Awesome video. Really enjoyed it!! Thanks! Love knowledge
Thanks for this, I appreciate your efforts and enjoyed watching it.
Very interesting and informative, thank you for making this video! I will look a little closer on my next local walk here in Central Mass.
Thanks for putting together this video.
Thanks for this
Looks like prime Sasquatch country. 👍👣🇨🇦
Great videos.
very interesting, thanks
Misery Bay…sounds like my home away from home.

In the 1960s I rode with my family to Manitoulin on a car ferry from Alpena, Michigan. Any idea what boat that would have been? Probably 1966-1969.

fascinating!
My Great G Grandfather lived on Bruce Peninsula 1870.
So if you don't understand the water is very cold all year long.

The Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island were covered by ice until about 12,000 years ago.

That is a wild story. Googling Plasma Geology turns up nothing.
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.
Ah nope! Great way to ruin what little is left! Come by land. It’s terrific
Did you find any Opuntia fragilis here?
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.

I was born a Haweater!
nothing has been here for millions of years, the earth is only 6,000 years old, read your Bible!

Can't you just enjoy the video?
The Bible is ~ 5% history. The rest is interesting fairy tales.
Sucks to be you.
Haaaaaahhhh….David makes a funny!
