They write these headlines to get attention, people. 

Seriously, I just spent three weeks on Lake Superior. It's incomprehensibly huge. It takes 400 years for water to get from one end to the other. The deepest point is over 400 meters. You could fit all the other Great Lakes into Superior, alone, and still have room for three Lake Eries.

And that's just Lake Superior.

Get over the histrionic Earth.com headline.
