This is a natural lake. It is the result of the 1811-1812 New Madrid earthquake. It is quite near the Mississippi River meander that created the nearby isolated bit of land that is physically cut off from the rest of KY. ]]> Reel Foot Lake in Tennessee

From this high up, with proper enhancement (see thumbnail), the tectonic plate known as Scotia Plate can be seen in its entirety. The eastern sliver of the visible boundary is the South Sandwich Microplate, containing the South Sandwich Islands (just west of the visible trench). These two plates are actually pulling apart from each other, with the Sandwich plate subducting under the much larger South American Plate.]]> Scotia Plate
