Lake Superior Deepest Hole

Lake Superior Deepest Sounding on the Michigan Tech Research Cruise aboard the US EPA RV Lake Guardian; This is the deepest spot in the United States. The deepest hole in Lake Superior is 733 feet (223 m) below sea level (much deeper than Death Valley), so it is the lowest spot on the continental interior of the United States.

The pic of the people holding the Styrofoam cups doesn't reveal anything. I was expecting them to be all tiny or something. Do you have better comparison pics?

@planetrob555 The cups were smaller, I would list a link here to a picture but youtube does not allow a link

I love the fact that the captain was listening to Type O Negative's Pyretta Blaze. LOL, great song!

I have often wondered why there isn't MORE research on that deep hole in Lake Superior. I have searched the net many times looking for photos and the like. But can't find anything.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting. I'm on the shallow end here in Superior Wisconsin.
