In the last episode, we dug into the fiery foundation of the Keweenaw Peninsula. That’s right, some of Copper Country’s most beloved landscapes–and Lake Superior itself–were shaped by a 1.1 billion year old rift volcano. And On Hand listener Kate Lynnes' love of the Keweenaw runs almost as deep as that rift volcano.
