Mysteries of the Great Lakes

Gordon Pinsent narrates this fascinating, educational, 2008 IMAX documentary that captures the gorgeous scenery of Lake Huron's Georgia Bay, Lake Superior's Slate Islands, and the Benjamin and Apostle Islands; shows a myriad of wildlife, including beavers, endangered bald eagles, woodland caribou, turtles, and birds; presents interesting historical facts about the Great Lakes region, including the six to ten thousand ships (such as the Edmund Fitzgerald on Nov. 10, 1975) that ran aground or sank in its waters; and showcases the diligent efforts of biologists and conservationists to save the prehistoric, fresh water lake sturgeon from extinction and repopulate the Great Lakes with this species that has survived virtually unchanged for more than 100 million years.
