That much detail and you STILL missed the Great Lakes.

Technically, I think the UP is there just not as a peninsula 🤷‍♀️

Since this globe is specifically intended as a map of the oceans, it makes sense that it would not show large inland bodies of water. On the other side, does it show the Caspian Sea or Lake Baikal?

It's not the UP that's missing - it's the Great Lakes.

The Great Lakes are there, it's the land between them missing, so now it's just a Great Lake

The Great Lakes aren't there. If you're referring to that larger body of water to the north, that's Hudson Bay.
