Lake Superior Has Enough Water To Cover North and South America With One Foot Of Water.
The world’s largest freshwater lake contains 10 percent of all freshwater on planet Earth. In fact, there is enough water inside of Lake Superior – roughly 3 quadrillion gallons – to cover all of the land in North and South America in a foot of water. If the shoreline of Superior were laid out in a straight line, it would stretch from Duluth, MN to the Bahamas.
