This Halloween, we’re diving into the eerie depths of the Great Lakes.
Each lake has its own spooky story:
🕯️ Lake Superior hides ghost ships beneath its icy waves...
🦴 Lake Michigan whispers tales of vanishing beaches…
🌉Lake Huron hides prehistoric hunting camps on a lake bottom ridge...
🧪 Lake Erie bubbles with algal blooms that glow like potions...
🦠 Lake Ontario was first to host strange creatures like the blood sucking sea lamprey.
Never fear, we have resources to help you make these fascinating topics less frightening at iiseagrant.org/education.
