    (3,000,000,000,000,000) gallons. Lake Superior is 602 feet above sea level
    and the average temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If the entire surface
    freezes, which has happened twice in recorded history, there would be room
    for every man, woman and child on earth to spread out a 12’ x 12’ picnic
    blanket. The Lake is the final resting place for the Edmund Fitzgerald and
    over 350 other shipwrecks.
