Boat Ride in Lake George
 |
Today |
Today was the perfect day for a boat ride. After we all ate
breakfast done by Michael and Toby, we went to the RPI Biology lab which in
the backyard has a dock that leads you to Lake George. From the backyard, we
could see a beautiful scenery of Lake George. The rocks, the calm water, the
green and big mountains and the light blue sky all contributed to the wonderful
landscape. While in the boat, we were told about amazing facts about Lake
George. One of the fact that surprised me was that Lake George was actually
divided into two different Lake. It is astonishing to know that lakes can come
together. This fact makes me wonder if people drowned when the lakes rose in
order to come together. It also makes me wonder if that is ever going to happen
with other lakes, and how bad that would affect the population around those
specific lakes.




The good thing about the lakes coming together and forming
Lake George is that the proportion of water to land is bigger. Lake George has
a greater amount of water than amount of land surrounding it. Due to this, less
people can live around the lake in comparison with other lakes. Since there is
less people around it, there is a less level of contamination. As a result, the
lake is very clean and unpolluted. The RPI Biology lab workers go constantly
into the lake where they are able to find different types of plants and other
specimens. In addition, they take examples of water from different parts of the
lake to determine what the ph is and study it for further analysis.I never expected to find a RPI building as far as George Lake
town. The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is definitely a very large college.
