July 20: Nickel and mining



Such a sleep depriving week! I kayak on Lake Huron between brutal call shifts.  I take a detour to Manitoulin Island on my way to Sudbury's airport.  Manitoulin’s claim to fame: it is the largest island on a lake.  On the island is the largest lake on an island in a body of freshwater.  Does this island also contain the largest lake on an island inside a lake on an island inside a fresh body of water?

I visit the famed Big Nickel Mine on the eve of its 50th anniversary. I miss the celebrations and Guiness Record beating feat:
