Its terrain is a complex mosaic of Precambrian rock formations, sculpted by glaciers into a rolling, often dramatic topography dotted with an astonishing number of lakes. These waterways are not mere adornments but are integral to the city's identity, reflecting the deep blue of the northern sky and offering expansive vistas that shift with the seasons.
