Each summer, we experience Ten Mile Lake from above—the boats on the water, loons calling across the lake, and wildlife along the shoreline. But beneath the surface is an entire world most of us rarely get to see.
In Beneath the Surface, biologist and ichthyologist Bruce M. Carlson takes readers underwater to explore the fascinating ecosystem of Ten Mile Lake in Cass County, Minnesota. Through engaging stories and beautifully detailed illustrations, Carlson reveals how the lake’s physical characteristics shape the plants, fish, birds, and other wildlife that call it home.
Discover how Ten Mile changes from season to season and day to night, what happens below the water during a storm, how loons communicate and hunt, the remarkable design of a beaver lodge, and the unique behaviors of the lake’s fish.
Part science, part storytelling, and part celebration of the natural world, Beneath the Surface offers a new perspective on the lake we love—and a deeper appreciation for everything happening just below the waterline.
