The first impression is that this place is so simple. Enodah's room is all wooden bunk beds, and one room can sleep up to four people. There is basically no furniture except a four-layer drawer cabinet, but there are many hooks for hanging clothes. You can imagine that in the winter on the deserted island, this is the only place to keep warm. The heating equipment is very powerful, and it can ensure that the house is as warm as spring in such a snowy and icy place. In summer and autumn, the supply of hot water can be guaranteed here. However, Nalan Seqi and Yunluo's rooms are not very good. Basically, there is no hot water halfway through the shower, and it is like this every time! And the water pipes in winter are definitely not usable. Because they will burst due to the cold. The toilet is also very simple, but the equipment is quite advanced. Environmentally friendly plastic bags, enough toilet paper. After using the toilet, just step on it a few times, and there is no odor at all. This problem does not exist in summer, and flush toilets and shower rooms are available. The power supply here is very limited, and it is all self-generated. Therefore, you must turn off the lights before going out. For the sake of environmental protection, you should do this at ordinary times. On such a deserted island, people must adapt to life here and get along well with nature.
The living room is a few steps away. It is everyone's living room and dining room. The hardworking cooks will carefully prepare daily meals. Although they are not rich, they are indeed very distinctive. At least every meal is different. If you feel cold at night watching the aurora, you can hide in and have a bowl of hot noodles. Every day, there is a red charcoal fire here, waiting for people to come. You can chat with friends from all over the world, or read quietly. There are animal specimens hanging here, gifts left by guests from all over the world, and enthusiastic hosts. Like a real family, people who come here gather together to eat, drink, chat, and dance.
During those days, Regner kept calling Yunluo "superstar" because of the free diamond! Yunluo was embarrassed at first. But after a few days, they got familiar with each other and responded to him enthusiastically. Although Yunluo felt that if he stayed in such a cold place all year round, he would go crazy. But he felt that Regner enjoyed it. When he was playing with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, he was full of enthusiasm when introducing everything about his hostel. He must really like this place. That's why he put so much effort into it.
The most important thing to do here is definitely to wait for the aurora at night.
The reason why you can see the aurora in Yellowknife, located on the shore of the Great Slave Lake, is that it is only 512 kilometers away from the Arctic Circle and is located right in the center of the aurora. In addition, the temperature here is suitable in summer, there is little rain, and the sky is cloudless, making Yellowknife one of the best places in the world to enjoy the aurora. In the summer, the sun sets in Yellowknife at around 10 pm. The sun rises again at around 2 am, and the daytime is quite long.
A popular spot to see the Northern Lights in Yellowknife is by the tranquil Great Slave Lake. When you stand by the lake and look up at the night sky, you can see one of nature's greatest wonders. The dark sky is beautiful because of the appearance of the aurora, and the northern lights appear differently each time, sometimes floating mysteriously on the horizon, and sometimes flashing and forming a huge halo in the sky. There may even be a slight hissing or crackling sound. Generally speaking, the northern lights appear as a curtain of white, blue and green light. But sometimes it also forms a dazzling corona. As a light of natural power, every time you see the northern lights, you will feel a strong shock in your heart.
Want to include yourself in the beautiful aurora photos? The most basic rule for photographing people under the aurora is to make sure that the person being photographed keeps the same posture during the exposure process, otherwise, the photo will appear to be "lightfooted". So, friends who are about to go there, first practice posing without moving in the weather of -40 degrees Celsius!
Yellowknife has a very different natural landscape from the entire Northwest Territories. It is very shocking to see the Northern Lights in Yellowknife! Yunluo saw the Aurora on the Great Slave Lake in August. The whole sky was dancing with Aurora, and there were not only green ones, but also pink ones. It was amazing! If you look down at the lake, you will find the reflection of the Aurora in the lake, as if you are surrounded by the Aurora. It is recommended that tourists who like challenges can also try to go to Hayriver not far from Yellowknife to try canoeing on the river. Tourists who like animals can go to the Wood Bison National Park in the Northwest Territories to visit the endangered species.
The noise and light are completely eliminated here. The most authentic way to wait for the aurora is to stay in a traditional conical tent made of fur or cloth, teepee, and listen to the explanation while waiting for the aurora to appear. In such a tent, there will be professionals explaining the formation of the aurora and the common sense of various star viewing, from which you can learn a lot of astronomical knowledge.
Compared to other places to see the Northern Lights, the Northern Lights in Yellowknife are closer to the horizon, as if they are within reach. In the two years of the most active Northern Lights, 2013 and 2014, the Northern Lights could be seen in Yellowknife starting in August. Statistics show that if you stay in Yellowknife for more than three days, the probability of seeing the Northern Lights is as high as 98%.
You don’t have to take a spontaneous trip, but you must take the opportunity to complete your dream trip while time is still there and the years are peaceful. It doesn’t matter how long the trip is or where the destination is, just measure it with your own feet and experience it with your heart! For the Aurora, all the unspeakable things are hidden deep in my heart.
Being a "Jiang Taigong" on Great Slave Lake is one of the must-do things on this deserted island. Whether you are canoeing, kayaking or rafting, the wonderful waters of the Northwest will always take you through and enjoy the most unspoiled scenery here. These lakes and rivers are rich in history, rugged and beautiful, and this hidden beauty attracts paddlers from all over the world.
The boats here must be driven by experienced boatmen, because there are many reefs in the Great Slave Lake, and if you are not careful, you will hit the reef, so driving experience is very important. In winter, you can also play snowmobiling and ice fishing in Yellowknife. The lake is completely frozen, and riding a snowmobile through the endless ice and jungle is very cool!
Yellowknife is located on the Great Slave Lake. As the second largest lake in Canada, the Great Slave Lake has a well-developed fishery and is rich in whitefish, lake trout, etc. When tourists come to the Great Slave Lake, in addition to boating on the lake and leisurely enjoying the pure lake and mountain scenery under the bright sunshine in summer, they can also experience the fun of fishing in the summer at the Lynx Mountain Lodge by the lake. The locals will use a large net to scoop in the lake, and many big fish will be magically caught in it. If you are lucky, you can easily catch a northern pike that is more than one meter long and nearly 15 kilograms. Even if you go out to sea with a fishing rod and take a boat to fish, you will most likely get a surprise. After successfully catching it, return to the cabin to cook the fresh and tender big fish in the most authentic way, or grill it by yourself or let the kitchen steam it. The fresh and sweet taste is refreshing and feels extraordinary!
When they went out, Regner specifically reminded Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to wear enough clothes. He saw Yunluo was only wearing a sweater and was worried that Yunluo would be cold. Yunluo said kindly that Yunluo was also a woman who had lived in the north and was not afraid of the cold! But later he really regretted saying that, because it was really too! Cold! It was not the temperature in the north of Yunluo's country at all.
The Korean family seemed to be here to make fun of me. As soon as the boat started, Dad's hat was blown into the water. This is simple and rough American fishing, just keep reeling in and releasing the line. There are not many skills, no need to be quiet, wait, and it doesn't take too long. The fish here are all big, and you can clearly feel it when you are hooked. It should be noted that fishing here requires a certificate from the Canadian government, which is a certificate that allows you to fish. If you don't have that certificate, it is illegal to fish here.
Yunluo is not an expert at fishing. He hasn't caught a single fish in a long time. Jinliang from Malaysia has caught several fish with great interest. There is still a chance to take a photo with the big fish.
Yunluo took a careful photo of the plant that can be soaked in water. It is said that the aborigines have been collecting this kind of plant for soaking in water for a long time. It is a plant that the aborigines gave the name to. Yunluo can't remember it. After soaking in water, there will be a bitter taste, followed by a strong plant fragrance. Malaysian friends are having a lot of fun picking it.
While the guide was cooking, Yunluo casually wandered around the deserted island. It was the first time for him to be in such an uninhabited place, where a big black bear could attack at any time. It was really exciting to explore! He felt like a real jungle explorer.
I am full of curiosity about everything here! For example, the strangely shaped wood in this lesson is also a gorgeous background for the picture.
The two guides of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were really dedicated. They carefully prepared lunch for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. They used the freshly caught fish and the spices collected on site to stew a delicious soup!
At noon, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo also had a very primitive way of cooking: killing fish and making fish soup! The fish soup was delicious, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were very happy to eat it. After that, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo played on the deserted island for a long time and left before dark. Because wild animals would appear here after dark.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
During dinner, Regner specially issued a government certificate to the Korean boy! A certificate for catching a big fish. Afterwards, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo chatted while waiting for the aurora! This is the most pleasant time of the day. From about 10 o'clock, you can feel surrounded by the aurora! Watch the aurora freely on the lake tonight! (To be continued...)
