Presqu'île Lake (Nord-du-Québec)

The Presqu'île Lake (French: Lac de la Presqu’île) is a body of water forming a lake at 5.4 kilometres (3.4 mi) South of the center of the village Chapais, in the regional County Municipality (RCM) of Eeyou Istchee Baie-James, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Quebec, in Quebec, in Canada.

The surface of the “Presqu’île Lake” is usually frozen from early November to mid-May, however, safe ice circulation is generally from mid-November to mid-April.

On the banks of the Obatogamau River at 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) East of the lake, segments of shatter cones were found, traces left by the cosmic impact having formed the crater about 759 million years ago.

The topography of the surrounding terrain has undergone severe erosions resulting in gradual leveling of about 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) thickness during glacial periods.

The topography of the Canadian Shield in the Chibougamau region includes vast plateaus, marshy plains and old mountains of volcanic origins with worn summits.
