Isthmus Bay is the home to affluent summer vacationers and is located just outside of Lion's Head, a charming village located on the 45th parallel and mid-Peninsula. The rocky headlands of Lion's Head are part of the long ridge of ancient limestone that forms the famous Niagara Escarpment. Nature, the sculptor, with tools of wind, rain and frost, has carved fantastic shapes along the face of these limestone bluffs. The massive form of a lion's head about 168 feet in height (one more distinctly visible than now) guards the entrance to the snug harbour. The harbour is now used by vacationing yachtsman and crew, and families who love to swim and kayak in the absolutely breathtaking aqua-blue waters. Native Land Acknowledgment We acknowledge the traditional Territory of the Anishinabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway Odawa and Pottawatomie Nations. And further give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, now known as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land. Have you ever wondered about why the waters of Georgian Bay can appear to take on a beautiful aqua colour? It's a product of light refracting through calcite in the water. Calcite comes from the dolostone that makes up the escarpment. Rainfall events (rain is naturally slightly acidic) or water agitating surrounding rocks can cause calcium carbonate to leech from the stone or other calcium-rich compounds, such as marl, and crystallize in the lake water, becoming calcite. These crystals double-refract the light (also called birefringence), creating the beautiful hue that our eyes see. This is the second post of a series about the geology of the Niagara Escarpment.
