Sleeping Giant (Ontario)
The Sleeping Giant is a formation of mesas on Sibley Peninsula which resembles a giant lying on its back when viewed from the northern section of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The peninsula encloses the waters of Thunder Bay. The formation is part of Sleeping Giant Provincial Park .Its dramatic steep cliffs are among the highest in Ontario (250 m). The southernmost point is known as Thunder Cape, depicted by many early Canadian artists such as William Armstrong.
An Ojibway legend identifies the giant as Nanabijou, the spirit of the Deep Sea Water, turned to stone when the secret location of a rich silver mine was disclosed to white men.
