Superior: Simply Unmatched
The Great Lakes are one of Earth’s greatest natural wonders — and Lake Superior is the crown jewel.
🌊 It holds more water than the other four lakes combined.
❄️ Winter waves build ice volcanoes along its shores!
🛳️ Shipwrecks in its depths are practically frozen in time.

On this World Water Day, let’s remember: these lakes sustain us, challenge us, and connect us. What’s one way you’ll protect them today? 🌍💙

Erie: Ever-Changing and Full of Life
Lake Erie keeps you on your toes — it’s shallow, unpredictable and full of life.
🌪️ It can rise or drop by several feet in hours due to wild wind shifts called seiches.
🚨 But its warmth also fuels harmful algal blooms, threatening drinking water and wildlife.

Erie is a lake of extremes — beauty and challenges, calm and chaos. What’s one way we can help keep it healthy?

Michigan: Massive and Mysterious
Lake Michigan is massive — but it also holds mysteries beneath its waves.
🏜️ Home to the world’s largest freshwater sand dunes, towering over the shoreline
🚢 More than 1,500 shipwrecks rest below, some so well-preserved you can see them from a kayak
🌊 And here's a weird one: Lake Michigan has its own “Stonehenge” — a mysterious rock formation found 40 feet below the surface.

Michigan is full of surprises, both above and below the surface. What’s your favorite Lake Michigan fact?

Ontario: On the Way to the Ocean
Ever wonder where all the Great Lakes’ water ends up? 💧
🚢 Lake Ontario is the last stop before it flows into the St. Lawrence River and heads out to the Atlantic.
🏝️ It’s also home to over 2,000 islands, including the stunning Thousand Islands region.
📍 And with Toronto on its shore, more people live near Lake Ontario than any other Great Lake.

Ontario is both the gateway and the gathering place. Have you ever followed the lakes to the ocean?

Huron is HUGE
Lake Huron doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it should — it’s absolutely massive.
🏝️ 30,000+ islands (more than any other Great Lake)
🌊 The longest shoreline of them all
🔍 And lurking beneath its waters? A 9,000-year-old land bridge used by Ice Age hunters.

Huron has shaped history, supports entire ecosystems and still has stories to tell. Got a favorite Lake Huron spot? Let’s hear it! ⬇️

"Facebook wants to demote what little news still remains in its primary feed, having found that it doesn’t keep users engaged as much as an algorithm-generated stream of random videos."

Out of every 1,000 times someone sees a post on Facebook, how many of them include a link to a news site? Four. No wonder Facebook doesn't want to write publishers big checks anymore.
