About Fifty Lakes One Island
During 2011, Chicago filmmaker George Desort spent a total of eighty nights on Isle Royale National Park on Lake Superior. Traveling alone with his camera equipment and as much food as he could fit into his kayak, Desort explored the rugged terrain of the island, filming himself each step of the way. The results of this adventure are this website and the documentary film, Fifty Lakes One Island.
