Fridge Magnet Depiction of Lake Superior in Silver Bay, Minnesota

Lake Superior is the biggest of the five conventionally separated Great Lakes situated in North America. This lake is situated in Silver Bay and is bordered by Minnesota on its west, Ontario to its north, and Michigan and Wisconsin on its south, respectively. It is a spectacular lake and one of the most fascinating highlights of Minnesota as well as Silver Bay. If you seeking a fitting and elegant souvenir of the lake, do consider this pretty acrylic fridge magnet that exhibits a beautiful view of the Lake Superior in the morning. The magnet has a fine acrylic finishing that adds more to its sophistication.

Different Names of the Lake

Lake Superior has several different names. The Ojibwe used to call it as 'gichigami', which means big water. This name has been mentioned in the 'Song of Hiawatha' by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and in the 'The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald' by Gordon Lightfoot as Gicthe Gumee. The very first French voyagers who visited the lake sometime in the seventeenth century referred to is 'le lac superior', which means the 'upper lake.' The Jesuit followers referred to the lake as 'Lac Tracy' and the English named it 'Lake Superior', as it is bigger in magnitude amongst other lakes located in that continent.
