Overview

300 km north of the Canadian capital Ottawa, 350 km northwest of Montreal, in the province of Quebec, lined by pristine forests, lies Lac Agassiz. It is one out of over a dozen places in Canada alone named after Swiss glaciologist and racist Louis Agassiz (1807-1873), and one out of over seventy places around the world which are carrying his name. There is also an impact crater on Mars, a promontory on the Moon and a main-belt asteroid named after him. Half a dozen animal species carry the name Agassiz.
