United States Of
America.

How the Apostle
Island National
Lakeshore was
created
Originally fur traders
and explorers came
across the islands while
trying to find a way to
the East Indies. Senator
Gaylord Nelson
sponsored the
legislation to make it
into a National
Lakeshore; which
President Nixon signed
on September 26, 1970
at that time it only
included 20 islands. In
1986 Long Island was
added to the National
Lakeshore.

Environmental
issues in the
Apostle Islands
The biggest issue facing
the Apostle Islands is
climate change. As
planet temperatures
rise there is less ice
cover, major losses of
tree species (spruce,
hemlock, birch), and
reductions of fish
populations (Coastal
Brooke Trout for
example).

Environmental
issues in the
Apostle Islands
In the Apostle Islands
there has been a sudden
increase of white tailed
deer. They are now over
running the park. As
this species keeps
growing they are eating
many endangered plant
species.
Special
Landforms In The
Apostle Islands
One special landform
the Apostle Islands
have are caves. These
are formed by the
erosion of sandstone
which makes up most of
the Apostle Islands. In
the summer, spring,
and fall many times
there are water in the
caves. But in the winter
those caves become ice
caves that you can walk
into and enjoy all of the
beauty.
Raspberry
Island
Lighthouse
A special feature in the
Apostle Islands is the
Raspberry Island
lighthouse. It was built
in 1862 and sponsored
by Henry Rice a well
known politician. It is
nicknamed the
“Showplace of the
Apostle Islands”
Rocks In The
Apostle
Islands
There are many
different types of rocks
in the Apostle Islands.
Sandstone is what the
islands are mostly made
out of. Sandstone
erodes easily and helps
give the Apostle Islands
their unique shapes.
Some other common
rocks found in the
Apostle Islands are
Basalt and Quartz.

How Technology
Is Used In The
Apostle Islands
Technology is used to
track invasive species,
also called non native
species, such as the
three spine stickleback
fish. They also use it to
see how high water
pollution levels are, and
to track the water
quality.

How The
Apostle Islands
Where Formed
The sandstone that
makes up the majority
of the islands was
deposited in the late
Precambrian era, from
various streams.
Overtime several glacial
periods eroded the
sandstone by hitting the
stone; it eroded away;
which formed the
islands we know today.
How The Land
Is Changing
Large scale erosion has
plagued the park; it has
all happened because of
climate change,
intensity of storms, fire,
and the variations of
levels in Lake Superior.
Another cause of
erosion is human made
factors such as air and
water pollution.
