[00:00:00]The Great Lakes are so massive, they [music] hold 20% of all the surface fresh water on Earth. That's enough water to cover both North and [music] South America in a half meter deep layer. But one lake rules them all.

[00:00:12]>> [music] >> Lake Superior is a true giant. It's larger than countries like Austria or Panama, and it can hold [music] all four other Great Lakes combined. With 9 meter waves during storms, these aren't just lakes, they're inland seas. With over 300 shipwrecks [music] in Lake Superior alone, these waters are as deadly as the open ocean. Nature's true power hidden in plain sight.
