Misery Bay on Manitoulin Island in Ontario is renowned for its alvars and large dolomite pavements. These flat slabs of stone were ground flat by glaciers during the last ice age. The area was covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet 20,000 years ago and was only exposed 10,000 years ago. The land has been gradually rising since then, as it is no longer weighed down by the glacier
One of the lovely sunflowers at The Cooper Farm Sunflower field, located in the southern end of Manitoulin Island. Sunflowers exhibit a unique trait called heliotropism, where the sunflower face turns toward the sun at all times throughout the day, starting the day facing east and ending it facing west.
Whitefish Falls, located near to Manitoulin Island, is visible from the highway and cascades approximately 30 feet. The area is a popular sightseeing spot on the island, particularly among those who like to wade in lively waters. However, the highway runs directly over the falls, which some feel detracts from its natural ambiance. Do you find the road to be a distraction in this scene?
