Is it the St. Lawrence seaway?\n\nThe St Lawrence Seaway is the common name for a system of canals that permits ocean-going vessels to travel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes as far as Lake Superior. Legally it extends from Montreal to Lake Erie, including the Welland Canal and the Great Lakes Waterway. The seaway is named after the Saint Lawrence River, which it follows from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Ontario.(from wikpedia)\n\nBelow is the offical website.

The Niagara River, as is the entire Great Lakes Basin of which the river is an integral part, is a legacy of the last Ice Age. 18,000 years ago southern Ontario was covered by ice sheets 2-3 kilometers thick. As they advanced southward the ice sheets gouged out the basins of the Great Lakes. Then as they melted northward for the last time they released vast quantities of meltwater into these basins. Our water is "fossil water"; less than one percent of it is renewable on an annual basis, the rest leftover from the ice sheets.\n\nThe Niagara Peninsula became free of the ice about 12,500 years ago. As the ice retreated northward, its meltwaters began to flow down through what became Lake Erie, the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, down to the St. Lawrence River, and, finally, down to the sea. There were originally 5 spillways from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Eventually these were reduced to one, the original Niagara Falls, at Queenston-Lewiston. From here the Falls began its steady erosion through the bedrock.\n\nHowever, about 10,500 years ago, through an interplay of geological effects including alternating retreats and re-advances of the ice, and rebounding of the land when released from the intense pressure of the ice (isostatic rebound), this process was interrupted. The glacial meltwaters were rerouted through northern Ontario, bypassing the southern route. For the next 5,000 years Lake Erie remained only half the size of today, the Niagara River was reduced to about 10% of its current flow, and a much-reduced Falls stalled in the area of the Niagara Glen.\n\nAbout 5,500 years ago the meltwaters were once again routed through southern Ontario, restoring the river and Falls to their full power. Then the Falls reached the Whirlpool.\n\nIt was a brief and violent encounter, a geological moment lasting only weeks, maybe even only days. In this moment the Falls of the youthful Niagara River intersected an old riverbed, one that had been buried and sealed during the last Ice Age. The Falls turned into this buried gorge, tore out the glacial debris that filled it, and scoured the old river bottom clean. It was probably not a falls at all now but a huge, churning rapids. When it was all over it left behind a 90-degree turn in the river we know today as the Whirlpool, and North America's largest series of standing waves we know today as the Whirlpool Rapids.\n\nThe Falls then re-established at about the area of the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge upriver to our right, and resumed carving its way through solid rock to its present location.

According to http://www.great-lakes.net/lakes/ref/supfact.html  the elevation of Lake Superior, which surrounds the UP is 600ft above sea level. So, any point on the UP is likely at at least 600 ft.  Brockway Mountain ( see http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?ei=UTF-8&fr=sfp&p=brockway+mountain ) is 735 feet above *lake* level .

Canada's Landforms.  Canada is from an Iroquois word meaning "village". The weight of Ice Age glaciers created a large low basin. This is why Canada has more lakes and inland waterways than any other country.  \n\nThe Eastern Highlands - Appalachian and Laurentian Highlands are rolling hills and low mountains with forests and deepwater harbors along the rocky coast. \n\nThe St, Lawrence and Great Lakes Lowlands - highly urban area with fertile soil, good transportation, and most of Canada's farms, people, and industries.  Niagara Falls is found here. \n\nThe Canadian Shield and the Arctic Islands - huge, horseshoe shaped area around Hudson Bay. It is made up of hills worn down by glaciers and thousands of glacial lakes.  It covers more than half of Canada.  Mosses and small shrubs grow in the north with evergreen forests in the south.  Soil is not good for farming, but minerals are found in abundance.  The Arctic islands have tundra plants and glacial ice covers the northernmost islands. \n\nThe Interior Plains - an extension of the Great Plains.  Huge, rolling prairie (inland grassland) with very fertile soil.  Wheat and other grains grow here.  Minerals like oil and natural gas are also found here. \n\nThe Rocky Mountains - part of the cordillera (a group of mountain ranges that run side by side).  Scenic beauty (natural parks like Banff and Jasper) and rich mineral resources. \n\nThe Pacific Coast - Mt. Logan (19,551 ft.) is Canada's highest peak.  West of the Rockies, hou have high plateaus until you reach the Coast Mountains (part of the cordillera). The Inside Passage is a 1,000 mile waterway between the west coast and a group of islands. \n\nThese links provide a little more information.  I hope this helps.

The effect of any lake, especially the Great Lakes, in modifying the weather in nearby areas.\n\nLake effect snow is produced in the winter when cold winds move across long expanses of warmer lake water, picking up water vapor which freezes and is deposited on the lee shores. This effect is enhanced when the moving air mass is uplifted by the orographic effect of higher elevations on the downwind shores. This uplifting can produce narrow, but very intense bands of precipitation, which deposit at a rate of many inches of snow per hour. The areas affected by lake effect snow are called snowbelts.\n \nLake effect snow produced as cold winds blow clouds over warm waters\n\nCold winds in the winter typically prevail from the northwest in the Great Lakes region, producing the most dramatic lake effect snow falls on the East to south shores of the Great Lakes. This lake effect produces a significant difference between the snow fall on the eastern and western shores of the Great Lakes. If the air temperature is not low enough to keep the precipitation frozen, it falls as lake effect rain. Lake effect snows at the Tug Hill Plateau on the southeastern side of Lake Ontario frequently set the daily records for snowfall in the United States. Lake Erie also produces a similar effect for a zone stretching from the eastern suburbs of Cleveland to Buffalo, but Lake Erie often freezes due to its shallowness, and ice cover stops the lake effect. In order for Lake Effect rain or Snow to form the temperature difference between the water and the air at 1500 meters above the surface must be at least 13 degrees C. The southern and southeastern sides of the Great Salt Lake also receive significant lake effect snow, but it is much more severe over the Great Lakes.\n\nOne area that receives the most lake effect snow is the snow belt in the Upper Peninsula (UP) of Michigan, near the cities of Houghton, Marquette, and Munising. These areas frequently average over 200 inches, and may receive close to 300 inches of snow a year (for comparison, on the western shore, Duluth, Minnesota receives only 77 inches). Due to the low populations of these areas, they do not get the publicity of the lake effect snows affecting Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, or Upstate New York. Lake Superior and Lake Huron rarely freeze due to their size and depth; lake effect snow can fall continually in the UP and the Ontario, Canada snowbelts during the winter months. The most famous lake effect storm was the Blizzard of 1977, which struck the Buffalo area from January 28-February 1, 1977. It was the first instance of a region of the United States being declared a Federal Disaster Area because of excessive snowfall. Cities such as Toronto, Hamilton, Detroit and Chicago frequently miss out on lake effect events because they are not on the leeward shore of a lake during a Northwest oriented wind (wind coming from the Northwest, heading to the Southeast). However Toronto and Hamilton are often close enough to Georgian Bay and Lake Huron that they receive small amounts of Lake Effect Snow each winter.\n\nLake effect of extremely cold air over still warm water in early winter can produce thundersnow, snow showers accompanied by lightning and thunder.\n\nEven when precipitation is not produced, any time cold air passes over warmer water it produces cloud cover. Fast moving cold fronts, known as Alberta clippers often cross the Great Lakes. After the passage of a cold front, winds tend to switch to northwest, and a frequent pattern is for a long lasting low to form over the Canadian Maritimes which may pull cold northwestern air across the Great Lakes for a week or more. Since the prevailing winter winds tend to be colder than the water for much of the winter, the southeastern shores of the lakes are almost constantly overcast, leading to the use of the term The Great Gray Funk as a synonym for winter. These areas have a high rate of seasonal affective disorder, a type of psychological depressio
