454. Lake Superior

In 1622, a French explorer and interpreter Étienne Brûlé is credited with being the first European to see Lake Superior.

Located between Canada and the United States Lake Superior is one of the largest bodies of freshwater in the world.

In 1668, Jesuit Fathers Claude Dablon and Claude-Jean Allouez were on the Lake with Jesuit explorer Jacques Marquette, and they were the first to inform the world of the rich copper mines of that region.

Other European explorers who visited Lake Superior include French fur traders Pierre Espirit Radisson and Médard Chouart des Groseilliers in 1659-60, and Daniel Greysolon Duluth from 1679-1686.
