Elkhart Lake: Lewis Glacier
Lewis Glacier combines enduring alpine ice with the volcanic slopes of South Sister in a way that reflects its high-Cascade position. It lies on South Sister, a 10,358-foot stratovolcano and Oregon’s third-highest summit, within the Three Sisters Wilderness west of Bend. South Sister forms one of the Three Sisters, whose broad flanks and lava-built ridges define this part of the central Oregon Cascades. Forested approaches around Century Drive lead toward trail networks used for hiking and climbing, while the glacier is a reminder that permanent ice persists on the range’s highest volcanic terrain. The surrounding wilderness has an important place in Oregon’s outdoor culture.

Elkhart Lake lies along the shore of its namesake lake in eastern Wisconsin, where the rolling, glacially shaped terrain of the Kettle Moraine sets it apart from the state’s broad agricultural plains. The village has long functioned as a lakeside resort community, with water recreation central to its warm-season identity. Just south of town, Road America is one of the United States’ best-known permanent road-racing circuits; it opened in 1955 after races had previously been run on local public roads. Forest trails and small inland lakes give the surrounding region a character distinct from Wisconsin’s Lake Michigan shore.

Built around Great Lakes shipping, timber, and dairy farming, Wisconsin grew into a Midwestern state with a distinctive industrial and rural identity. Lake Michigan forms its eastern edge, while the Mississippi River marks much of the west; between them lie forests, farms, and thousands of inland lakes. Milwaukee, on Lake Michigan, developed as a major brewing centre, and the state’s dairy tradition remains central to its food culture. In the southwest, the Driftless Area escaped the flattening effects of the last continental glaciation, creating deeply cut river valleys and steep ridges.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
