加拿大美国千岛湖风景.ppt

The Thousand Islands are a chain of islands that straddle the U.S-Canada border in the Saint Lawrence River as it emerges from the northeast corner of Lake Ontario. The islands stretch for about 50 mi (80?km) downstream from Kingston, Ontario Canadian islands are in the province of Ontario. The U.S. islands are in the state of New York. The islands, which number 1,865 in all, range in size from over 100?km2 (40?sq?mi) to smaller islands occupied by a single residence, to even smaller uninhabited outcroppings of rocks that are home to migratory waterfowl. The number of islands was determined using the criteria that any island must be above water level for 365 days per year, bigger than one square foot (roughly 900?cm2), and support at least one tree or shrub. The area is very popular among vacationers, campers, and boaters, and is often referred to as the fresh water boating capital of the world. 千島群島（Thousand Islands） 位於聖勞倫斯河與安大略湖的交匯處， 是一個擁有1865個小島的景點， 分屬加拿大、美國兩國，簡直是幻境。 ?我一輩子也不可能去的，那就看看好囉！ ?
