Thunder Bay is a large bay on the north shore of Lake Superior, in Thunder Bay District, Ontario, Canada. The bay is about long and wide. It is bordered to the east by the Sibley Peninsula at the southern tip of which is Thunder Cape, marking the entrance to the bay for ships approaching from the east. The peninsula when viewed from the north shore of the lake has the appearance of a Sleeping Giant. Rivers emptying into the bay include the: *Kaministiquia River *Neebing River *McIntyre River *Current River *MacKenzie River (18 km east of the city) *Blende River *Wild Goose Creek *Blind Creek The harbour at the City of Thunder Bay is Canada's westernmost port on the Great Lakes, and the end of Great Lakes navigation. The Ojibwa called it ''Animikie'', meaning "thunder". French explorers called it ''Baie du Tonnerre'' which was translated to Thunder Bay in English. In 1871, the bay gave its name to the newly created Thunder Bay District, and in 1970, the amalgamated city of Port Arthur and Fort William also adopted the name Thunder Bay. la:Sinus Tonitralis 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thunder Bay (Ontario landform)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
