The Great Lakes (also called the Laurentian Great Lakes, or the Great Lakes of North America) are a series of interconnectedfreshwaterlakes located in northeastern North America, on the Canada–United States border, which connect to the Atlantic Ocean through the Saint Lawrence River. Consisting of Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron (or Michigan–Huron), Erie, and Ontario, they form the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth, containing 21% of the world's surface fresh water by volume. The total surface is 94,250 square miles (244,106km2), and the total volume (measured at the low water datum) is 5,439 cubic miles (22,671km3). Due to their sea-like characteristics (rolling waves, sustained winds, strong currents, great depths, and distant horizons) the five Great Lakes have also long been referred to as inland seas. Lake Superior is the second largest lake in the world by area, and Lake Michigan is the largest lake that is entirely within one country. The southern half of the Great Lakes is surrounded by the Great Lakes Megalopolis.
The large rift lakes of Africa are the ancient home of great biodiversity; 10 percent of the world's fish species are found there. Lakes Victoria, Tanganyika, and Malawi hold a quarter of the planet's freshwater supply.
The African Great Lakes are divided among three different catchments (river basins); a number, such as Lake Turkana, also have internal drainage systems. The following, in order of size from largest to smallest, are included on most lists of the African Great Lakes:
Great Lakes is an American rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, in 1996. They have been based out of Brooklyn since 2002. The group's original lineup consisted of Ben Crum, James Huggins and Dan Donahue. Huggins' involvement dwindled over time, and Donahue and Crum split acrimoniously in 2008. Crum is the only original member remaining, and he continues to perform and record as Great Lakes, with various supporting members. Donahue and Huggins are both currently releasing new material with various groups as well as their principle songwriting outlets, Dream Boat and James Husband respectively. Donahue has contributed lyrics to several other bands' albums, including Of Montreal's City Bird, Elf Power's The Taking Under, and Bear In Heaven's Space Remains. Donahue has designed art, album covers, and videos for the bands MGMT, Pavement, Belle and Sebastian, and R.E.M.
History
Formation
The group started as a songwriting partnership between Dan Donahue and Ben Crum. With James Huggins III, the band officially formed in 1996. The original lineup also included bassist/vocalist Craig Ceravolo and performed one show at The Nick in Birmingham, Alabama, under the name Cherry Valence (not to be confused with The Cherry Valence). For a time the band was also called Wheelie Ride, before it changed to Great Lakes.
Great Lakes is one of two railroad stations in North Chicago Illinois, served by Metra's Union Pacific/North Line. The station is officially located at 3000 South Sheridan Road, is 32.2 miles (51.8km) away from Ogilvie Transportation Center, the inbound terminus of the Union Pacific/North Line, and also serves commuters who travel north to Kenosha, Wisconsin. In Metra's zone-based fare system, Great Lakes is in zone G.
It is named for the Great Lakes Naval Training Base in North Chicago and the City of North Chicago.
Parking is available at the end of Ohio Avenue which leads from the southern terminus of the Amstutz Expressway. Like Waukegan Station, Great Lakes Station serves as a stop for the Great Lakes Naval Training Center. Unlike Waukegan Station, however, the Naval training center surrounds much of Great Lakes Station, which is also located near the Shore Acres Country Club.
The connection to the Pace bus system has a boarding location near the main entrance to the naval station, it is also a location for taxi pick ups, and drop offs.
The Great Lakes Commission, authorized by the region's American states and Province of Ontario, and the additional Canadian Province of Quebec, comprises a bi-national authority with specified powers to protect and preserve the water and environmental resources of the Great Lakes and surrounding waterways and aquifers. The Commission's authorities are confirmed by the Canadian and American federal governments, and by its constituent states and provinces.
The Great Lakes region takes its name from the corresponding geological formation of the Great Lakes Basin, a narrow watershed encompassing The Great Lakes, bounded by watersheds to the region's north (Hudson Bay), west (Mississippi), east and south (Ohio). To the east, the rivers of St. Lawrence, Richelieu, Hudson, Mohawk and Susquehanna form an arc of watersheds east to The Atlantic.
Court keeps Great Lakes wolves on endangered species list
A federal appeals court is keeping gray wolves in the western Great Lakes region on the endangered species list. A panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday upheld a district judge's 2014 ruling that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had acted prematurely by removing federal protections from wolves in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Letchworth Meetup and Moving to the Great Lakes
On this Airstream Life vLog, we start the video off right with some timelapse from our meetup outside of Letchworth State Park. Thanks to everyone who came! We had an awesome time talking about pups and a big thanks to Dan & Phyllis for the thoughtful gift. Local consumable items are always appreciated!
Then it's time to pack up and head farther north in NY to Four Mile Creek State Park on Lake Ontario (yes Ontario, not Huron ;)). This a big campground and since it's a Saturday it's already packed! We get settled into our site before taking a walk down to the Lake to show your around.
Stay tuned for a fun-filled day in Buffalo in our next video!

We are one Nothing could be clearer under the sun There's none you should hold dearer than the ones Who will race at your side as we run Forever to the end To the end We filled our glasses, drank a toast and raised our weary heads Nothing but the finest for the things we leave unsaid I woke up in another time, centuries ahead but still undone We are gone Always we are spinning around the sun Nothing stops the time when you are done It keeps on going and we run Forever to the end To the end Out behind the cities all the trophies turn to rust The things we've spent our lives creating slowly gather dust The moon will hang as pale and as lonely as a ghost when we're gone We are one Nothing could be clearer under the sun There are none you should hold dearer than the ones Who will race at your side as we run Forever to the end We run forever This is the sum of our endeavours.
