St-Lawrence river INFORMATION
The Saint Lawrence (French: fleuve Saint-Laurent; Tuscarora: Kahnawáʼkye; Mohawk: Kaniatarowanenneh, meaning "big waterway") is a large river flowing approximately from southwest to northeast in the middle latitudes of North America, connecting the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. It is the primary drainage conveyor of the Great Lakes Basin. The river traverses the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario and forms part of the international boundary between Ontario and New York in the United States.
The Saint Lawrence River originates at the outflow of Lake Ontario between Kingston, Ontario, on the north bank, Wolfe Island in mid-stream, and Cape Vincent, New York. From there, it passes Gananoque, Brockville, Ogdensburg, Massena, Cornwall, Montreal, Trois-Rivières, and Quebec City before draining into the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, one of the largest estuaries in the world. The estuary portion begins at the eastern tip of Île d'Orléans, just downriver from Quebec City. The river becomes tidal in the vicinity of Quebec City.
The river runs 3,058 km (1,900 mi) from the farthest headwater to the mouth and 1,197 km (743.8 mi) from the outflow of Lake Ontario. The farthest headwater is the North River in the Mesabi Range at Hibbing, Minnesota. Its drainage area, which includes the Great Lakes and hence the world's largest system of fresh water lakes, has a size of 1,344,200 km2 (519,000 sq mi), of which 839,200 km2 (324,000 sq mi) is in Canada and 505,000 km2 (195,000 sq mi) is in the United States. The basin covers parts of the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The average discharge below the Saguenay River is 16,800 m3/s (590,000 cu ft/s). At Quebec City, it is 12,101 m3/s (427,300 cu ft/s). The average discharge at the river's source, the outflow of Lake Ontario, is 7,410 m3/s (262,000 cu ft/s).
The river includes Lake Saint-Louis south of Montreal, Lake Saint Francis at Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and Lac Saint-Pierre east of Montreal. It encompasses four archipelagoes: the Thousand Islands chain near Kingston, Ontario; the Hochelaga Archipelago, including the Island of Montreal and Île Jésus (Laval); the Lake St. Pierre Archipelago (Classified biosphere world reserve by the UNESCO in 2000) and the smaller Mingan Archipelago. Other islands include Île d'Orléans near Quebec City, and Anticosti Island north of the Gaspé. It is the second longest river in north-America.
Lake Champlain and the Ottawa, Richelieu, Saguenay and Saint-François rivers drain into the St. Lawrence.
The Saint Lawrence River is in a seismically active zone where fault reactivation is believed to occur along late Proterozoic to early Palaeozoic normal faults related to the opening of Iapetus Ocean. The faults in the area are rift related, which is called the Saint Lawrence rift system.

INFORMATION SUR LE SAINT-LAURENT (MONTREAL) Le Saint-Laurent (en français: fleuve Saint-Laurent; Tuscarora: Kahnawákye; Mohawk: Kaniatarowanenneh, signifiant «grande voie navigable») est un grand fleuve qui coule près du sud-ouest au nord-est dans les latitudes moyennes de l'Amérique du Nord, qui relie les Grands Lacs à l'Atlantique Océan. Il est le convoyeur de drainage primaires du bassin des Grands Lacs. Le fleuve qui traverse les provinces canadiennes du Québec et l'Ontario et fait partie de la frontière internationale entre l'Ontario et de New York aux États-Unis. Le Saint-Laurent provient à l'exutoire du lac Ontario, entre Kingston, en Ontario, sur la rive nord, l'île Wolfe, à la mi-stream, et Cape Vincent, New York. De là, il passe à Gananoque, Brockville, Ogdensburg, Masséna, Cornwall, Montréal, Trois-Rivières et Québec avant de vider dans le golfe du Saint-Laurent, l'un des plus grands estuaires du monde. La partie commence dans l'estuaire, à l'extrémité orientale de l'île d'Orléans, juste en aval de Québec. La rivière devient avec marée dans les environs de la ville de Québec. La rivière coule 3,058 km (1,900 milles) de l'extrême amont de la bouche et 1,197 km (743,8 km) de la sortie du lac Ontario. Le plus éloigné est d'amont de la rivière North dans la gamme Mesabi au Hibbing, au Minnesota. Son bassin de drainage, ce qui comprend les Grands Lacs et donc plus grand système au monde de lacs d'eau douce, a une taille de 1.344.200 km2 (519 000 milles carrés), dont 839 200 km2 (324 000 milles carrés) est au Canada et 505 000 km2 (195 000 carrés MI) est aux États-Unis. Le bassin couvre une partie des provinces de l'Ontario et du Québec, et les états de l'Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvanie, le Vermont et le Wisconsin. Le débit moyen en dessous de la rivière Saguenay est 16800 m3 / s (590 000 pi ³ / s). Au Québec, il est 12 101 m3 / s (427 300 pi ³ / s). Le débit moyen à la source de la rivière, le débit sortant du lac Ontario, est 7410 m3 / s (262 000 pi ³ / s). Le fleuve comprend le lac Saint-Louis au sud de Montréal, Lac Saint-François à Salaberry-de-Valleyfield et le lac Saint-Pierre a l'est de Montréal. Il comprend quatre archipels: la chaîne des Mille-Îles, près de Kingston, en Ontario; l'archipel d'Hochelaga, y compris l'île de Montréal et l'île Jésus (Laval), le lac Saint-Pierre Archipel (classée réserve mondiale de biosphère par l'UNESCO en 2000) et les petits l'archipel de Mingan. D'autres îles sont l'île d'Orléans près de Québec, et l'île d'Anticosti au nord de la Gaspésie. Il est le deuxième plus long fleuve en Amérique du Nord. Le lac Champlain et la rivière des Outaouais, Richelieu, Saguenay et Saint-François rivières se jettent dans le Saint-Laurent. Le Saint-Laurent est dans une zone sismiquement active, où la réactivation de défaut est considéré comme se produisent le long du Protérozoïque tardif au début Paléozoïque failles normales liées à l'ouverture de l'océan Iapetus . Les failles dans la région du Rift sont liées, ce qui est appelé le système Rift Saint-Laurent.

Beautiful shot! I used to love traveling to the great lakes (I live in Michigan, USA) during the winter because of the fascinating ice-buildups that would occur on the shoreline. This reminds me of some great childhood adventures.
