Øvre sø




HEJ! GODDAG!
I've decided to create a blog dedicated to that beautiful inland Sea
"Øvre sø" better known in the world as Lake Superior which straddles the border between the United States and Canada. Øvre sø as it is known among Danish-speaking people is the largest fresh water lake by surface in the world and third largest by volume. I decided to dedicate this blog to this great lake using the Danish word because of the truly "Scandinavian feel" of the region in not only its' flora and fauna and the scandinavian landscapes it evokes but also in the population around its' vast shoreline. This blog is dedicated to the beauties and regional culture of "Øvre sø " or Gitcheegumi as the aboriginal inhabitants call it. It is dedicated in particular to the Norse fisherfolk & other settlers from the Scandinavian lands who suceeded in securing a new home for themselves on the islands and shores of this truly Great Lake.
