The Great Lakes scare me, more than the ocean even.
Thank you, Gordon Lightfoot.
unless i missed it, they never mention how tall this mountain is.
The Great Lakes were formed about 14,000 years ago, well within the time that humans were around. It would be cool if these drones were to spot some evidence of human occupation around this and other submerged mountains before they became submerged. I’m thinking at least petroglyphs or the remains of stone structures.
Are those drones autonomous? Radio isn’t useful under water and acoustic is subject to distortion and disturbed by ambient noise. There isn’t a cable.
Researchers and filmmakers are exploring the Superior Shoal, an underwater mountain in Lake Superior.
ALSO FROM THE ARTICLE:
But Drebert and Melnick believe the Superior Shoal in Lake Michigan is the largest known underwater mountain in fresh water.
Ummmm....what?
WOW. I’ve jumped in that freezing cold water many times.
Dad built aa A frame house on Lac LaBelle which connects into Lake Superior. That was our summer vacation every year growing up. Mom was born and raised on a farm just outside of Kearsarge.
