Formed by ice, filled by ice, often covered by ice, the Great Lakes encapsulate human exploration, migration, development, and where we're headed. Project: Ice views North America's freshwater inland ocean through the prism of ice, from the crossroads of history, science, and climate change. This shared Canadian-American resource holds a timely and telling story of geology, human movement, population growth, industrialization, cultural development, recreation, and the profound impact people have had on their environment. Ice sits at the heart of it all.
