Omnimax film: Mysteries of the Great Lakes February 12, 2009

Mysteries of the Great Lakes will take you on a dramatic journey through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. It takes a drop of water nearly 400 years to travel from the headwaters of Lake Superior to the edge of Lake Ontario. Along the way, the water passes by towering cliffs dotted with early Native American pictographs, caribou and moose grazing on the shores, over giant prehistoric sturgeon luring among thousands of shipwrecks and past nearly 40 million people who live along the more than 10,000 miles of coastline. The remarkable film also turns the camera on humans - touching on the human interface with the Lakes including the vital role of shipping to commerce, the use of water by the millions of people who rely on it, and the general sense of well-being that people gain from their association with these massive bodies of water.
