The great lakes also greatly impact the region's climate. Lake effect snow, for example, makes the regions on the lee side of the Great Lakes extremely snowy in the winter
Growing up in South Western Ontario sometimes makes me forget how crazy these lakes are. I grew up on the coast of Erie and now live and work at the edge of lake Ontario.
Swedes were Vikings as well but they were mostly traveling, settling, trading and raiding in Russia and Asia down to the Black Sea and the byzantine empire.
The Porcupine mountains in the western half of the upper peninsula are some of the oldest mountains on Earth. Totally secluded and way underrated place to see. They used to have mountains taller than Everest but the ice ages wore them down. You never much hear about it and the place is very beautiful.
The UP in general is really beautiful, especially when you're standing on the coastline, at the perfect angle where the sun bounces off and glimmers on the surface of Lake Superior.
Speaking of Lakes, I'd really like to see a detailed video about the Aral Sea and how and why it has shrunk so much, it always makes me sad to think about it but I think it would make a great video
Cody, you should look into making a video about the Cascade Range and the major volcanoes in the range: Rainier, St. Helens, Adams, Shasta, Hood, Baker, Jefferson, etc, etc. That might be an interesting video to do. The Cascades in Washington, Oregon, California, and British Columbia have had several interesting and unique volcanic eruptions, varying between ash and tephra eruptions, lava flows, cinder cones, and caldera formations (such as Crater Lake and Newberry Caldera). The majority of the northern part of the range is non-volcanic, called the North Cascades. The North Cascades is the most rugged mountain range in the lower 48, boasting more glaciers than any other range (outside of Alaska) combined. (Over 400 in total). Another idea would be the Missoula Ice Floods that carved out the Scablands and Columbia River Gorge in Washington and Oregon. It also created the rolling hills of the Palouse.
Please, make a video about Baikal! This lake and place is so great, it is really mystical is some way. You must visit Baikal once. It would totally worth the trip to Syberia.
I live in the Hudson valley a bit ways off from Lake Erie. The water shed here is insane, we're 100 miles off from NYC and provide their water. Reservoirs everywhere, it's always nice to know you live somewhere that's plentyful of fresh water.
""Downriver" area, South of Detroit, the Great Lakes offer so much and mean so much to this State. I also lived in Thunder Bay Ontario on NW side of Superior.., so you covered all areas. very knowledgeable and entertaining piece..
Do belgium geography. It has a dutch part, a french part a small german part all with different governments and the capital brussels, also capital of europe, is a collection of cities that also form a different part with its own government. This means we have 4 governments for these parts + a federal government for the entire country with different laws and rules that just make it a whole mess. Thanks Napoleon
Vancouver Island!! I'd love to hear your take on the Cascadia fault line, trade relations, and the weird weather patterns. (Don't forget to mention the best place on the island and my home town Campbell River)
I live on Lake Erie too, and do distinctly remember when we couldn't drink the water those few days. All the restaurants that couldn't operate on bottled water had to close. It was a mess. We definitely need to take better care of our lakes. They are beautiful bodies of water. Did you know Lake Erie has its own tropical themed islands? Kelleys Island and South Bass Island are gorgeous and well worth the visit.
I remember that my Geography teacher once told us that we are very lucky to like next to the great lakes since they are the largest bodies of freshwater in the world, and we have a readily available supply of water for us
Washington Island, part of Wisconsin and in Lake Michigan is an interesting place to go check out geological features of the Great Lakes. There is even a cool beach made of fossils from a coral sea. Yes, Lake Michigan is on top of a coral sea. Check it out
You should do one on Yellowstone National Park. I know you did a video on your other channel of what would happen if it exploded, but you should do one on here about pretty much everything.
Aral Sea video? My dad (55 yrs) didn't even know that it existed until I told him about it. + a great way to show the realities of the effects of good ol humanity on the environment.
Huron is spanish for ferret, is there a reason why the lake is called ferret in spanish? or is it something else that makes the Spanish ferret thing pure coincidence?
Could you please do a video on the geographic differences between the east and west coastal regions as well as the coasts themselves? Don't know if that's too much, so my backup would be a video on the cascade range area. Even if you don't pick either of my requests, I can't wait to see what you'll do next; I love geography!

Hey Cody. I like your videos and have watched what feels like dozens of them both History and Geography. I'm just wondering something: You pronounce T's like D's. Is this a regional accent?
Panama! It's a small country that technically connects north and south america and it also holds the Panama Canal! It's geographical position has been a key factor in the country's history, economy and current projects!
Would love a video on Polynesia! Hardly know anything about the islands so I'd love a video on that to learn more about them! Love the videos, keep them coming!
I live in Warren, a city next to Detroit. The Great Lakes have always fascinated me as well. I sometime like to imaging a alternate history, (awesome channel by the way) where the Norsemen colonized the new world and sail along the Great Lakes as a New World Nordic Empire. I always wanted to sail the Great Lakes in a Longship.
To be fair there are many large Canadian cities on the coast they're usually in land like London, Waterloo. I m suprises he didn't mention Sarnia, it's the biggest city on Lake Huron
Dustin Williston Ontario the province, touches the most Great Lakes, no other political subdivision does that. Ontario IS the heart of the great lakes region, and gets absolutely no mention, just ridiculous. I guess the fact it borders Superior, Erie, Ontario and Huron means nothing. Or even has Lake Simcoe and St.Clair within it's borders that are large lakes themselves.
I have followed your alternative history channel and am now following this channel. I have two requests with one being for this channel and the other being for the original channel. For this channel I would like to see a video on Southern Florida specifically Lake Okachobee and why it doesn't have a river cutting a line through Florida connecting the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico. For the original channel, I would like to know what the world would be like if the French had managed to keep Mexico under it's thumb after invading the country and violating the Monroe Doctrine. Would the U.S. still have the problems that it has today with drug lords running rampant throughout the Southern border and how would Frances continual occupation of Mexico affect relations with the U.S. and how would this affect the U.S. in WW1 and later WW2. Thanks for considering my requests. Sincerely, A Big Fan
So why do you barely talk about Canada? Canada's a major part in the great lakes, not just population. There are many Canadian mega-cities that are located on the great lakes. Even Thunder bay which is a city of 100k plus is located on the crown of lake superior and all adjoining townships in that area. Niagara Falls Canada (the river that flows between Ontario and Erie) produces 60% of all power in the north east continent. A total of 12 million people live in the area of southern Ontario (Hamilton, London, Sarnia, Toronto, and the Greater Toronto Area. Just to name a few.)
@@madide3978 But this is supposed to be an overview of the Great Lakes, and leaving out Canada is like talking about the Hundred Years War and not talking at all about France.

Hi Cody. Great work on all the vids that you come up with. I regularly tune in on AlternateHistoryHub and just realized this channel's existence, so I'll be following this too. And having lived in two Great Lake states (not including PA) I certainly appreciate this vid. As for a potential idea for another video, how about one on the Aral Sea. I don't think 'enough' people hear about the Aral Sea, let alone are aware of its recent history of literally becoming history. It probably doesn't help that its location is between countries that many people in the US probably never learn about. And to think that the Aral Sea used to be bigger than some of the great lakes by surface area. Being a fellow fan of pondering alternate timelines, I always wondered what it would be like if one of the Great Lakes was to just disappear in half a century (I know it's much less likely to happen with the drainage system and all...but for the sake of imagining the consequences), as someone with a little of Great Lake bias, it's a thought enough to raise my stress hormone levels. The Great Lakes are not only an iconic region of North America, but a cultural symbol to much of the Midwest and Canadian populace. I think it would make many viewers go 'whoa..." to discuss the history of the Aral Sea and compare it to something close to home like the great lakes. Just a thought I had after watching this. Keep up the good work! -Eddie
Oh man i was just there and its fucking beautiful. All of hamilton and essex county is just so pretty, and you can see mount marcy from like 25 miles away
+Vat19Nvjds Uppstate new york is beautiful by scenery, ugly by economic development. Downstate NY is beautiful by economic developement, ugly by scenery.
Well I would imagine that upstate NY has a hard time developing since the adirondack park stops nearly all economic growth in the region. I remember we didnt see a single house for over 30 minutes once we were in hamilton county.
One thing you missed: the reason why Lake Superior is so big is because it is actually a volcanic crater, caused by magma from below the ground flowing out, causing the ground above to collapse. It is a major part of the Mid continental rift system, which is a giant volcanic fissure that runs through Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Kansas, that was apparently formed 2 billion years ago.
I love your style. Please do the Lesser Known Ancient Empires that changed the world or were mentioned in the Abrahamic Religions, such as the kingdom of Saba.
hey Cody, you probably already know this but a lot of English counties have their own flag, although most don't have a strong cultural identity. Cornwall does however, with its strong Celtic heritage, with its own language and music and art traditions. you have probably seen st piran's flag, white cross on black background, it represents smelted tin on rock.
Dude, I was there when the water in Lake Erie was undrinkable too. We still have some water left from when we bought like, a million gallons. We thought it would be much longer. I just went fishing in Lake Erie too. -Greetings from Toledo

+Jerry Blizzard It's kind of sad that your proud of you military budget considering how large it is. Think about what half of the budget could be used for other than the military. it kind of explains why your cities are going into shit and are starting to go bankrupt such as Detroit as the most prominent example but is not limited to just Detroit, many other cities are considering bankruptcy aswell. and is why there is so much poverty and unemployment in the inner cities and don't think the suburbs are safe from poverty and unemployment. Just do a little bit of research on this subject
I really liked the "Did Geography Doom the Native Americans?" video because you combined geography and history. Would be great to see more of these. Like maybe how geography determined the colonization of Africa. Or the formation of European countries.
I'd be interested in Australian Geography, with less emphasis on the sparsely populated desert areas, but the mountains, lakes, coastal formations, some of our crazy shaped bays, salt lakes, the geological age of some parts of the continent. Would be an interesting can of warms to open, cos we're not all one flat desert!
You should do a whole what if nations didn't have this specific resource, I.E. A peninsula or a barren tundra. How would this change the effects of weather and politics in the region? Would Russia have survived if it wasn't so cold or would the Gulf of Mexico face harsher weather systems because Florida and the Bahamas (and Cuba) isn't there to take a beating?
I hate how this is such a US centred video, though it is o my understanding that this TH-cam channel is dominated by American content creators it would be nice of them, when talking about such a vital and important geographical location, to include more about Canada in it. Also that bit at the end mad it sound like the lakes and their resources are only beneficial to Americans and almost like they belong to them. One of the biggest issues that are facing the Great Lakes is the fact that many American cities want or already have diverted water to drink or farm from the Great Lakes, Canadian cities do this too but the population of these cities are much smaller in comparison and often don't take directly from the lakes but from underground aquifers or headwaters. It is important to remember that these lakes are to be shared equally between the nations and regardless of how much of the lakes are in each of the countries, they are all connected so one thing that happens in one part of the lake system will effect the entire lake system.
Cassandra ZayZAY *they are all connected so one thing that happrns in one part of the lake system effect the entire lake system* Explain this part please
Delta 71 Ah, okay. So the Great Lakes are one system, connected to each other either directly or by large rivers. So what I meant by that statement is in regards to the US diverting water from Lake Michigan to small towns and cities, with hopes to divert water to places like California where water is in great need. The lakes are connected and therefore what happens on one country's half or in another lake will effect the other country's half or the rest of the lake system. There are treaties between the US and Canada to protect the Great Lakes, but there are many loopholes and space for environmental destruction can take place. Both countries need to protect this system and Americans need to realize that these lakes are just as much a part of Canada as they are the US.
At least you aren't from Ohio. Cut out Detroit and Flint from Michigan, and you have an amazing state. Much better than Wisconsin, but again, not as bad as Ohio.
Could you do more videos on Famous Landmarks or Relief forms (like the Great Lakes System) ? It would be nice to find out more things about places we may have heard of,but have never studied in-depth. Keep up the good work ! With you on Physical Geography and Geography Now on Social Geography,TH-cam is a better place ! ;)
The great lakes also greatly impact the region's climate. Lake effect snow, for example, makes the regions on the lee side of the Great Lakes extremely snowy in the winter

even though scandinavia is only denmark, norway and sweden the peninsula were norway, sweden and part of finland are is called scandinavian peninsula.
The joint between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron is called the Straits of Mackinac.

It is a major part of the Mid continental rift system, which is a giant volcanic fissure that runs through Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Kansas, that was apparently formed 2 billion years ago.
I'm biased because I'm in Michigan.
I love your style. Please do the Lesser Known Ancient Empires that changed the world or were mentioned in the Abrahamic Religions, such as the kingdom of Saba.
YESS MICHIGAN THANK YOU
Go bucks
Really? XD
GO BLUE
Lol that national championship tho
+Zach Rice Yeeeah boy. O-H! Fuck Michigan.
All my fav channels

Geography Now & GeographyHub take so long to upload but their videos are worth the wait
#Michigan 👍🏻👍🏻

Coming from Milwaukee here, good luck enjoying a swim, Lake Michigan is as cold as, hey, a glacier!
As a coaster enthusiast, I'm sad that he never said anything about Cedar Point
Same
WOOO GREAT LAKES :D HELLO FROM MICHIGAN!!!
An explanation on why Russia is so damn hard to invade would be fun, on a more serious note I wouldn't mind hearing more about the Mediterranean
Lake Huron! My favourite! My childhood!
I wonder how CGPGrey feels knowing every current geography video takes after him immensely
hey Cody, you probably already know this but a lot of English counties have their own flag, although most don't have a strong cultural identity. Cornwall does however, with its strong Celtic heritage, with its own language and music and art traditions. you have probably seen st piran's flag, white cross on black background, it represents smelted tin on rock.
I live in Illinois
+president creeper gaming
Yay! I am from Mississauga too!
+Super_Coal_Blox you live in Illinois
where your governors make your license plates!
+jabber1990 thats a good one xD
+Yerevan Naypyidaw I'm from Burlington, Ontario! it's also kind of close to Toronto, but right beside Hamilton, Ont
Brenden Schneider
Yeah, I've driven through before on the way to Niagara Falls. :)
As I live in McComb, OH, I remember the algae blooms of last year and to a lesser extent, this year as well.
Michigan rules all! We touch four great lakes.
+Yonus Harris Massachussets rules we touch the Atlantic Ocean which is better than some dumb old lakes
+The King of the Dragons of course a pats fan -_-
+Yonus Harris Ontario rules all! We touch all five great lakes.
+Dusan Popovic Canada doesn't count.
Dusan Popovic plus you dont touch lake Michigan.
Really digging this channel. Keep up the good work!
Dude, I was there when the water in Lake Erie was undrinkable too. We still have some water left from when we bought like, a million gallons. We thought it would be much longer. I just went fishing in Lake Erie too.
-Greetings from Toledo
That's so cool that you're from northern Ohio!! I love watching all your episodes on both channels!! I'm from the Cleveland area, this just made my day!
Frankie O'Laughlin, me to.
so not only america has the largest aquifer but we control 1/5 of all the world's available fresh water supply in those lakes alone
+Jerry Blizzard Umm.... No, you don't, you egocentric fuckheads...
+Drew Gaughan 21/100 is equal to a bit over 1/5 and australia has world's larget aquestrian aquifer, south america has the largest aquifer system. Different categories, and if you hate america that much then you'll be shocked to know that america has the largest desalinzation plant in the world and spends more money on the military than the next ten countries combined. now troll someone else
+Jerry Blizzard im glad your country is defending itself from its own problems
+Jerry Blizzard It's kind of sad that your proud of you military budget considering how large it is. Think about what half of the budget could be used for other than the military. it kind of explains why your cities are going into shit and are starting to go bankrupt such as Detroit as the most prominent example but is not limited to just Detroit, many other cities are considering bankruptcy aswell. and is why there is so much poverty and unemployment in the inner cities and don't think the suburbs are safe from poverty and unemployment. Just do a little bit of research on this subject
***** Because they aren't only your lakes, dumbass...
Mate, id love for you to do one on the difference between Scottish and English geography and how they shaped our history
You're from Ohio? I'm sorry for your loss
Zaphod Beeblebrox, where are you from?
I really liked the "Did Geography Doom the Native Americans?" video because you combined geography and history. Would be great to see more of these.
Like maybe how geography determined the colonization of Africa. Or the formation of European countries.
Lake Saint Clair will always be a great lake in my heart... Mostly because I live right next to it.
I'd be interested in Australian Geography, with less emphasis on the sparsely populated desert areas, but the mountains, lakes, coastal formations, some of our crazy shaped bays, salt lakes, the geological age of some parts of the continent. Would be an interesting can of warms to open, cos we're not all one flat desert!
THE -STAN COUNTRIES FTW
You should do a whole what if nations didn't have this specific resource, I.E. A peninsula or a barren tundra. How would this change the effects of weather and politics in the region? Would Russia have survived if it wasn't so cold or would the Gulf of Mexico face harsher weather systems because Florida and the Bahamas (and Cuba) isn't there to take a beating?
Do a video on why Minnesota is the best place in the world!
WajiRock 👍🏻
I love the Great Lakes and the land around them ❤️❤️❤️
Yay! Michigan Pride!
You should do a video on bodies of water in general
(Such as bays, straits, inlet, channels, etc.)
and there impact on society, economics, and history
Do Videos on:
The Caribbean
Mediterranean
Greenland
Philippines Archipelago
Andes Mountains
You should talk about the Yorkshire moors and how (if they even did idk) they shaped history.
I hate how this is such a US centred video, though it is o my understanding that this TH-cam channel is dominated by American content creators it would be nice of them, when talking about such a vital and important geographical location, to include more about Canada in it. Also that bit at the end mad it sound like the lakes and their resources are only beneficial to Americans and almost like they belong to them. One of the biggest issues that are facing the Great Lakes is the fact that many American cities want or already have diverted water to drink or farm from the Great Lakes, Canadian cities do this too but the population of these cities are much smaller in comparison and often don't take directly from the lakes but from underground aquifers or headwaters. It is important to remember that these lakes are to be shared equally between the nations and regardless of how much of the lakes are in each of the countries, they are all connected so one thing that happens in one part of the lake system will effect the entire lake system.
Cassandra ZayZAY How can That happen?
Delta 71 you are going to need to be a little more specific
Cassandra ZayZAY *they are all connected so one thing that happrns in one part of the lake system effect the entire lake system*
Explain this part please
Delta 71 Ah, okay. So the Great Lakes are one system, connected to each other either directly or by large rivers. So what I meant by that statement is in regards to the US diverting water from Lake Michigan to small towns and cities, with hopes to divert water to places like California where water is in great need. The lakes are connected and therefore what happens on one country's half or in another lake will effect the other country's half or the rest of the lake system. There are treaties between the US and Canada to protect the Great Lakes, but there are many loopholes and space for environmental destruction can take place. Both countries need to protect this system and Americans need to realize that these lakes are just as much a part of Canada as they are the US.
I agree.
Is there a geography hub? We need to know about the great Salt Lake and the everglades. Thanks.
Michigan ftw best state
SMH. Wisconsin>The other 49 States
At least you aren't from Ohio. Cut out Detroit and Flint from Michigan, and you have an amazing state. Much better than Wisconsin, but again, not as bad as Ohio.
MICHIGAN!!!!!!!! :D
TEXAS!!!!!!!!
Reid Gowan yeah
Could you do more videos on Famous Landmarks or Relief forms (like the Great Lakes System) ? It would be nice to find out more things about places we may have heard of,but have never studied in-depth. Keep up the good work ! With you on Physical Geography and Geography Now on Social Geography,TH-cam is a better place ! ;)
Wisconsin represent!!!
Every one forgets Milwaukee.
Minnesota !!! Third coldest state in America in the winter
Even though I sadly don't live there anymore still rep WI
Dirty cheese heads. Long live Illinois
Milwaukee
Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't the combined water from all 5 lakes submerge the British Isles?
You from Toledo? UT for the win!
Maybe you could cover the the straits of Gibraltar or Bosphorus or the Suez, Panama, or Kiel canals.
