Lake Ontario: Lake Ontario, the smallest of the Great Lakes, as it appeared to the STS-96 crew in low light and partial sunglint. Lake Ontario discharges into the Saint Lawrence river which flows northeast towards the Atlantic. Lake Champlain also shows partial sunglint east-northeast of Lake Ontario. The thin white lines in the photograph are contrails from some of the heavy air traffic in this eastern corridor.
