If you want to take amazing photos of the aurora, the choice of the camera is also very important. It is best to choose a wide area that can provide multi-angle shooting. It is best to be familiar with the surrounding environment. A tree, a stone, or a small building can become a good composition in your photo. After you have the composition, all that is left is to wait for the moment when the aurora appears in the sky and press the shutter.
It is easy to see the aurora in Yellowknife. The aurora can be seen almost every night. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo live on a small island by the Great Slave Lake. There is no light source on the ground to affect them, so the aurora looks even more brilliant and spectacular!
Best season: The best season to enjoy the Northern Lights in Yellowknife is from August to early October, from December to April of the following year. You can enjoy the Northern Lights for more than half a year. In the Northwest, there are more than 255 days a year when you can see the Northern Lights. The title of "World Aurora Capital" is not exaggerated.
It's real amethyst! The Canadian government allows you to bring it back to the country! Don't be greedy! It's a bit unbelievable to pick up amethyst here, but it's real! When I saw this itinerary, Yunluo was so excited and full of expectations!
We still need to take a boat to another farther island. It's a pity, because these are all deserted islands without names. However, today's Great Slave Lake is particularly clean and beautiful under the sunshine, and the plants on both sides also look very lively, which is completely different from yesterday, which was cloudy and cold!
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo followed their footsteps and moved forward. At first, they saw the tools that people used to collect amethyst here many years ago. All of them were to be left behind, including wheelbarrows, oil drums, and various tools.
The guide specifically told Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo that many people came here a long time ago to mine amethyst and made a fortune from it.
When Yunluo saw the sparkling amethyst raw stone, she was so excited! Although Yunluo didn't know much about jewelry and jade, she was particularly sure that the purpler and more transparent the better! She was so excited that she picked up one after another! Nalan Shiqi, helplessly reminded Yunluo again and again that she could only take two pieces away, as this was a government regulation. Otherwise, she would not be able to pass the customs!
The guide used more advanced tools to mine a large piece, and then asked Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to chisel out the ones they liked. They were always so enthusiastic and dedicated! Finally, Yunluo picked out the two pieces he liked the most from the large handful he picked up, passed the customs smoothly, and took them back home.
In fact, Yunluo had no idea how much amethyst was worth, but compared to other tourist souvenirs, Yunluo felt that the two stones were extremely valuable.
The eastern part of Great Slave Lake has world-class beauty and geological wonders. Spectacular cliffs extend deep into the world's tenth largest lake. The environment here has not been destroyed, and everything remains the original "creation" of nature. You can clearly see the traces left by the glaciers. Taking a canoe tour in the eastern part of Great Slave Lake is definitely an activity not to be missed.
About 60 kilometers east of Yellowknife, you will reach the fork leading to Reid Lake Campground, which is the Reid Lake Trail. Starting from the campground, it goes to the rocky coast of Reid Lake. Along the way, you will pass the shield rocks washed by glaciers and the bright and lovely berries in the woods and shrubs, giving you a variety of "fresh" experiences.
The men who didn't cook sat here and chatted. The guide worked hard to cook, and there was aboriginal bread. It was a traditional fried bread, very delicious.
Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo have no cooking experience. Especially on this deserted island, where there are no tools, Yunluo is responsible for collecting firewood! Everyone sits here to eat lunch, chatting and showing their amethysts. It is a happy experience for a big family. After the meal, take a group photo. Commemorate the good times of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo!
After dinner, we had the same itinerary - watching the Northern Lights! I heard that if you make a wish to the Northern Lights, your dream will come true. I took a few photos in the woods tonight and then went to sleep.
Here is a monitor for the aurora that shows the activity level of the aurora on that day. The higher the activity level, the more chances you have of seeing the aurora. However, don't rely too much on the value. You also need to consider the weather conditions of the day.
Today I'm talking about what to wear in the Northwest. Generally speaking, down jackets brought from China are not very good at resisting the cold in the Northwest. So many tourists who come to see the aurora will choose to rent equipment here: goose down jackets, winter ski pants, gloves, hats, masks, boots, full sets for rent. Wear these and jump happily in Nalanshiqi and Yunluo Northwest~ Of course, this is winter! If you want to play like Yunluo without being bloated, it is recommended to come in September!
Of course, keeping warm is the key to watching the Northern Lights! It is best to wear several layers so that you can easily take off one layer when it gets hot. Generally, it should be a T-shirt, thermal underwear, sweater, small jacket, coat (down jacket), etc.; hat, scarf, gloves are not to be mentioned. Oh, by the way, don't wear gloves with separate fingers, which are basically useless for keeping warm.
Exploring the most primitive desert island, a fresh experience full of adventure and surprise. Yunluo felt that this was a real hiking experience. It was really hiking in the primeval forest, and what he saw were the most authentic natural beauties, without any artificial carvings. It was an experience of exploring and discovering secrets.
Hiking has become more and more popular in recent years. Long-distance travel not only exercises tourists' willpower, but also exercises their bodies. However, the safety of hiking should be given enough attention. The following are some matters that need attention.
1. It is best to travel with a group of at least three people so that you can take care of each other. But don't bring too many people, otherwise you will interfere with each other and have difficulty moving. Bring less and lighter luggage, but be sure to bring some commonly used medicines.
2. Before departure, you should have some understanding of the various conditions of the areas you need to pass through, your own physical condition and the climate conditions at that time.
3. You should master the walking speed. Generally, it is slower at the end and faster in the middle. You should walk slowly at the beginning and then speed up after a few days. You should take a long rest during the day, usually at noon. The resting place should avoid direct sunlight and low-lying and humid places.
4. Ensure adequate sleep time and nutritional supplements. Do not eat only dry food for a long time. Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
5. When hiking, it is better to wear hiking shoes or special hiking shoes, because these shoes have a certain elasticity, are light, breathable, non-slip, can play a moderate buffering role on the brain, and can also reduce the swelling of the feet caused by long-distance walking. You can also wear half-new and half-old rubber shoes. You can also wear a pair of shoes that you think are comfortable and convenient for long-distance travel. Do not wear new leather shoes. If you feel pain or friction in a certain part of your foot while walking, you can stick a piece of medical tape on that part or a piece of single-sided tape on the corresponding part of the shoe to reduce friction.
6. If you are going on a long-distance hiking trip, it is best to do several adaptive trainings before departure, gradually increase the amount of exercise to enhance endurance. When walking, use the soles of your feet to touch the ground, use moderate force, and maintain body balance.
7. Wash your feet with warm water after walking every day to relieve fatigue. If there are blisters on the soles of your feet, you can use a needle (wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball or burn it on fire) to pierce the hole to drain the water, and then apply red medicine to prevent infection. Remember not to tear off the skin, which will not only easily cause infection but also aggravate the pain of the feet.
8. When hiking up a mountain, the body should lean forward slightly; when climbing a steep slope, a zigzag route should be taken; when going down the mountain, the body should lean back slightly and relax the muscles of the lower limbs to avoid back and leg pain.
9. The daily itinerary for hiking should be determined according to your physical condition. Generally, you should walk 4 to 5 kilometers per hour. You can rest for 15 minutes after each walk to recover your strength.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
There are no luxurious hotels. You can just pack your backpack and set up a tent with your loved ones to enjoy the spiritual luxury! In Canada, you can always find the one that suits you.
The bright sunshine shines on the earth, and the infinite sunshine brings infinite joy to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. At noon, I still think of preparing lunch, traditional bread. I really love this food these days.
The best way to appreciate nature is to breathe with it, walk slowly in nature, and fully enjoy the infinite surprises that nature brings you. Autumn in Canada's Northwest Territories is especially suitable for hiking. Walking in various colors, looking at the blue sky, white clouds, and various wild animals, it seems that the whole person will be integrated into the scenery.
A large wave of autumn beauty is approaching. This season is a good time to come to the Northwest to see the Northern Lights, especially for those who are afraid of cold. The weather is not so cold at this time, and you don’t need to wrap yourself up like a bear to see the Northern Lights. Moreover, the scenery in the Northwest in autumn is really... In one word - beautiful!
There was no road here originally, but as more people walked, a road was built. The trail itself is thrilling, passing through ancient spruce, cedar and ironwood forests, crossing cliff tops and suspension bridges, along a desolate coast dotted with clear tidal pools, and up and down steep gullies and waterways. Although the journey is difficult, tens of thousands of people come here every year to try this long-distance hike.
Sitting in the office for a long time will lead to a series of occupational diseases such as cervical spondylosis, obesity, and high blood pressure. As the saying goes, "Take a hundred steps after a meal and live to be ninety-nine." The benefits of walking are obvious. This time, Yun Luo really felt the discomfort of his body. He was so tired that he gasped after walking a few steps. He really had no endurance.
The autumn in the Northwest is definitely a paradise for photography enthusiasts. In the wilderness of the Northwest, the colors created by nature are bright and rich, and various wild animals are running freely. Wherever the camera reaches, there are scenery. Whether you are a senior photography enthusiast or a photography novice, you can find your own scenery here. (To be continued...)
