It is a group of [[igneous rock]]s which were formed during a massive igneous event starting about&nbsp;1,270 million years ago. The large igneous province extends from the [[Arctic]] in [[Nunavut]] to near the [[Great Lakes]] in northwestern [[Ontario]]. MLIP is one of the largest [[Proterozoic]] [[magma]]tic provinces on Earth, as well as the w
