The Nine Largest Lakes in Manitoba

Description

The Manitoba.lakes data frame has 9 rows and 2 columns. The areas and elevations of the nine largest lakes in Manitoba, Canada. The geography of Manitoba (a relatively flat province) can be divided crudely into three main areas: a very flat prairie in the south which is at a relatively high elevation, a middle region consisting of mainly of forest and Precambrian rock, and a northern region which drains more rapidly into Hudson Bay. All water in Manitoba, which does not evaporate, eventually drains into Hudson Bay.
