Grand Marais Lighthouse in Fog - Stock-Fotografie

The Grand Marais lighthouse on a foggy Summer morning located on the Grand Marais Harbor - Artists Point, Minnesota, USA. "Big Marsh" is the direct translation of the French "Grand Marais." While the name was given by Voyageurs in the early seventeenth century, many subsequent observers were puzzled, since no marshes have ever been known to exist here. However, it is believed that the Voyageurs had their own unique vocabulary, and it is likely that "Marais" referred to a cove, or harbor of refuge.
