Icebreaker, Lake Superior
Picture: Icebreaker, Lake Superior
WALLPAPER

An icebreaker carves a path through Lake Superior's Thunder Bay, in Ontario, Canada.


The Thunder Bay area is home to more than a hundred shipwrecks and a rich shipping history. The 448-square-mile (1,160-square-kilometer) sanctuary was designated as federally protected because of its cultural resources.
