Ontario

The name Ontario is derived from an Iroquoian word, although exactly which word and which meaning it came from is of some debate:

kanadario - sparkling or beautiful water
onitariio - beautiful lake
skanadario - very pretty lake
one of the above, but meaning only "a large body of water"


Manitoba-Ontario border. Almost there - not! hehe




It's amazing that there are so many trees in this part of the continent. As you can see by this cutaway next to the highway, there's only a very thin layer of soil covering endless miles of bedrock.
