Photo #: ISS052-E-12924 Date: Jul. 2017 Geographic Region: CANADA-O Feature: SANDY LAKE, FINGER LAKE, LOGGED AREA |
Sandy Lake, Northwest Ontario Out of thousands of lakes in the glaciated landscapes of the Canadian Shield, the color and size of Sandy Lake attracted the attention of an astronaut flying over on the International Space Station. Located in a remote region of northwest Ontario (north-northeast of Winnipeg), the lake and its milky, mocha-colored neighbors lie within a zone known as the "Clay Plains." Fine clay sediment was long ago laid down here in the beds of glacial lakes (such as Lake Agassiz) during the retreat of North America's continental ice sheet. |
