Transcript 千島群島(Thousand Islands)
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.'
