From East to West, the Great Lakes stretch for nearly a thousand miles across the heartland of the United States and Canada. The Great Lakes contain roughly 22% of the world's fresh surface water: 5,472 cubic miles. The combined surface area of the lakes is approximately 94,250 square miles (244,100 km2)-nearly the same size as the United Kingdom, and larger than the U.S. states of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Hampshire combined.
The great lakes were discovered around the same time but not all at the same time. They cover a vast area of many hundreds of miles. As explorers traveled west in search of new land they came upon the lakes and made note of them.
