Featured in today"s image, Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is a stunning and expansive wilderness area in northeastern Minnesota, United States. It"s one of the largest designated wilderness areas in the country, forming part of the internationally significant Quetico–Superior country. Spanning over 440,000 hectares, it is a vast expanse of interconnected lakes, rivers and boreal forests. The landscape is a mosaic of glacially carved waterways, rocky outcrops and dense woodlands, offering a haven for moose, wolves, loons and countless other species.
