- theluketaylor 7y agoThe great lakes watershed isn't within 1000 km of a glacier. It's a snowpack and rainfall watershed. The great lakes were created by receding glaciers, but it's been more than 10,000 years since they were glacier fed.
- omosubi 7y agoDo you have a source for this? I thought they were sourced was almost all rainfall both directly into the lake and from the streams and rivers that surround them
