Visualizing the Great Lakes
The
Great Lakes National Program Office image collection captures
the magnitude and awesome beauty of the Great
Lakes and its surroundings.These lakes
offer beautiful waterfalls, pristine lakes and rivers, canyons forged
out of volcanic rock, varied and abundant wildlife, while supporting
vigorous economies, major urban centers and large-scale
agricultural operations.
The following photographs not only offer a glimpse of the region's varied and breathtaking beauty, but help to tell the story of our region and the ways in which the Lakes have impacted our daily lives.
The image collection was developed as a Cooperative Agreement project with Minnesota Sea Grant, originally called Visualizing the Great Lakes -Images of a Region and was the starting point for the current collection. We hope you enjoy these pictures and continue to learn more about this precious resource.
