This true-color MODIS image from April 23, 2002, shows all five of the Great Lakes ofthe United States and Canada: (from top left toright) Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, andOntario. The whitish color of Lake Erie is due to dissolved limestone in the water--the bottom of the lake bed is limestone.
