You will definitely go crazy. But I think Regner is enjoying it. When he was playing with Yunluo and An Chuyu, he was full of enthusiasm when introducing everything about his hostel. He must really like this place, so 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 summer temperature here is suitable, there is little rain, and the sky is cloudless, making Yellowknife one of the best places in the world to enjoy the aurora. In summer.
The sun sets in Yellowknife around 10pm and the sun rises again around 2am, so the daytime is quite long. 188189 The quiet Great Slave Lake is a popular spot to enjoy the Northern Lights in Yellowknife. When you stand by the lake and look up at the night sky, you can see one of the greatest miracles of nature. The dark sky is magnificent because of the appearance of the Aurora.
The Northern Lights appear differently each time, sometimes floating mysteriously above the horizon, sometimes flashing and forming a huge halo in the sky, and even making a slight hissing or crackling sound. Generally speaking, the Northern Lights appear as a curtain of white, blue and green light, but sometimes they also form a dazzling corona as a natural force of light.
Every time I see the Northern Lights, I am deeply moved. Want to put yourself in the beautiful aurora photo? 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 show "light steps on water". So, friends who are about to go there.
First, practice posing in -40 degree weather! Yellowknife has very different natural landscapes from the entire Northwest Territories. It was very shocking to see the Northern Lights in Yellowknife! Yunluo saw the Northern Lights over the Great Slave Lake in 2011. The whole sky was filled with dancing Aurora. And not only green, but also pink.
It's 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 canoeing on the Hay River not far from Yellowknife. Tourists who like animals.
You can visit the endangered whooping crane nesting site at the Wood Buffalo National Park in the northwest. The noise and light effects 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 by the locals, Teepee, and listen to the explanation while waiting for the aurora to appear.
In such a tent cabin, professionals will explain the formation of the aurora and the common sense of viewing various stars, from which you can learn a lot of astronomical knowledge. Compared with other places to appreciate the northern lights, the northern lights in Yellowknife are closer to the horizon, as if they are within reach. In these two years when the aurora is active.
You can enjoy the Northern Lights in Yellowknife from the beginning. Statistics show that if you stay in Yellowknife for more than 3 days, the probability of seeing the Northern Lights is as high as 98%. You don't have to take a trip on a whim, but you must complete your dream trip while time is still there and the years are peaceful, no matter how long the trip is. It doesn't matter 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 the heart. Watching the Aurora at night on the 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 area will always take you through and enjoy the most pristine scenery here.
These lakes and rivers are steep and beautiful with a long history. 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 snowmobiles and ice fishing in Yellowknife.
The lake is completely frozen. Riding a snowmobile through the endless ice and jungle is very cool! 202 Yellowknife is located next to 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, they can not only go boating on the lake and leisurely experience the pure lake and mountain scenery under the bright summer sunshine.
In the summer, you can also experience the fun of fishing at the Lynx Mountain Lodge by the lake. The locals will use a large net to scoop up the lake, and many large fish will be magically caught in the net. If you are lucky, you can easily catch a northern pike that is more than one meter long and weighs 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 the fish, you can go back to the cabin and cook the fresh fish yourself in the most authentic way, either grilling it yourself or having it steamed in the kitchen. The fresh and sweet taste will flow into your heart. It feels extraordinary! When they went out, Regner specifically reminded Yunluo and An Chuyu to wear enough clothes. He saw that Yunluo was only wearing a sweater.
I was worried that Yunluo would be cold, but Yunluo said kindly that Yunluo was not afraid of the cold! But later I 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, my hat was blown into the water. This is simple and rough American fishing.
You just need to keep reeling in and releasing the line. There is no need for too many skills. You don't need to be quiet or wait, and you don't need to spend too much time. The fish here are all big, and you will feel it clearly 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's illegal to fish here. Yunluo and other women went to pick wild fruits. 208 Yunluo stepped on a kind of moss that existed since ancient times. It was very soft. It was a vast expanse of white. Yunluo had never seen it before. Yunluo was indeed not an expert in fishing. It had been a long time.
I didn't catch any. Jin Liang from Malaysia was very excited and caught several. 211 There is still a chance to take a photo with the big fish. Men are very keen on fishing in Huangdao. 4 The Malaysian friends became a beautiful little scenery. Yunluo took a careful photo of the plants that can be soaked in water.
It is said that the aborigines have been collecting this plant for a long time. This plant is used by the aborigines to soak water. It is a name given by the aborigines. Yunshi really 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 great time picking it. 220 The guide caught another big one!
Great! Yunluo took another group photo, happier than when he caught the fish himself, haha. While the guide was cooking, Yunluo wandered around the deserted island. It was the first time for me to be in such an uninhabited place, where a big black bear could attack at any time. It was really full of exploration! I felt like a real jungle explorer. I was 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 Yunluo and An Chuyu are really dedicated. They carefully prepare lunch for Yunluo and An Chuyu. Freshly caught mullet. Add the spices collected on site and stew it directly into a delicious soup! mullet is a carnivorous fish.
A small fish was found in its stomach. The scene was a bit bloody. A cool guide. Yellowknife lives by the lake. The various wild fresh fish in the lake are delicious and can be eaten raw or cooked. This is a plant that can only grow in a super clean and pollution-free environment. It is a thin moss plant.
At noon, Yunluo and An Chuyu also had a very primitive way of cooking: killing fish and making fish soup! The fish soup was delicious, and Yunluo and An Chuyu were very happy to eat it. After that, Yunluo and An Chuyu played on the deserted island for a long time and left before dark. Because wild animals would appear here after dark. 240 During dinner, Regner specially issued a government certificate to the Korean boy!
The certificate of the big fish was dropped. Afterwards, Yunluo and An Chuyu 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! If you want to take super cool aurora photos, the choice of shooting location is also very important.
It is best to choose a wide area that can provide multiple angles for shooting. It is best to be familiar with the surrounding environment. A tree, a stone, or a small building can become a good composition for 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 Borealis can be seen almost every night. Yunluo and Anchuyu live on a small island near the Great Slave Lake. There is no light source on the ground, so the Aurora Borealis 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 Aurora Borealis for more than half a year.
In the Northwest, there are more than 255 days a year when you can see the Aurora. The title of "World Aurora Capital" is not exaggerated. The Aurora is real amethyst! The Canadian government allows you to bring it back to the country! Don't be greedy! It's a bit incredible to pick up amethyst here. But it's real!
At that time, when I saw this itinerary, Yunluo was so excited and full of expectations! 248 Yunluo also proudly took a photo of his feet. 249250 Still need to take a boat to another farther island. What a pity, because these are all deserted islands. There is no name. However, today's Great Slave Lake is particularly clean and beautiful under the sunshine.
The plants on both sides also looked very lively, totally unlike yesterday, when it was cloudy and cold! The guide still led the team, one in front and one in the back. Holding a gun! 254 Plants with blue fruits. Yunluo and An Chuyu followed their footsteps and moved forward. At first, they saw the tools that people used to collect amethysts here many years ago.
They all have to stay, including wheelbarrows, oil drums, and various tools. 258 The guide specifically told Yunluo and An Chuyu that many people came here a long time ago to mine amethyst and made a fortune from it. 259 When Yunluo saw the glittering amethyst raw stone, he was very excited! Although, Yunluo didn't know much about jewelry and jade.
But Yunluo was particularly sure that the purpler and more transparent the better! He was so excited that he picked up one! Mr. Yan, helplessly reminded Yunluo again and again that he could only take two pieces away. This was a government regulation, otherwise it would not pass the customs! The guide used more advanced tools to mine a large piece.
Then Yunluo and An Chuyu were asked to chisel the ones they liked. They were always so enthusiastic and dedicated! 263 Finally, Yunluo picked out the two pieces that she liked the most from the large handful she picked up, passed the customs smoothly, and took them back home. In fact, Yunluo didn't know 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. The spectacular cliffs extend deep into the world's tenth largest lake. The environment here has not been destroyed. Everything remains the original "creation" of nature, and the traces left by the glaciers can be clearly seen.
Taking a canoe to visit the eastern part of Great Slave Lake is definitely an activity not to be missed. Drive about 60 kilometers east from Yellowknife. You can reach the fork leading to Reid Lake Campground. This is the Reid Lake Trail. Starting from the campground, it goes to the rocky coast of Reid Lake.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Along the way, we passed the shield rocks washed by glaciers and the bright and lovely berries in the wood shrubs, giving you all kinds of "fresh" experiences~268 The men who don't cook sit here and chat. 269 The guide worked hard to cook, and there was aboriginal bread. It is a traditional fried bread, very delicious. 270 The guide also shot wild ducks for Yunluo and An Chuyu.
Cooked duck! 271 Guide is always cool. Yunluo and An Chuyu have no experience in cooking, 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 off their amethysts, a happy big family, a happy experience. Take a group photo after dinner.
Commemorate the good times when Yunluo and An first met! Go back to Lynx House before it gets dark! After dinner, it's the same itinerary - watching the aurora! I heard that if you make a wish to the aurora, your dream will come true. I took a few photos in the woods tonight and then went to sleep. Here is a website to monitor the aurora.
The above shows the activity level of the aurora on that day. The higher the activity level, the greater the chance of seeing the aurora. However, don't rely too much on the numerical value. You must also consider the weather conditions of the day. Today we are talking about what to wear in the northwest. Generally speaking, the down jackets brought from China are still not very able to resist the cold in the northwest.
Therefore, many tourists who come to see the Northern Lights will choose to rent equipment here: goose down clothes. Winter ski pants, gloves, hats, masks, and boots are all available for rent. Wear these and jump happily in Yunluo and Anchu's encounter with the 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. Usually it is a T-shirt. Warm jacket, sweater, small jacket, coat (down jacket), etc.; hat, scarf and gloves are not to be mentioned. Oh. By the way, don't wear gloves with separate fingers, which are basically useless for keeping warm. Hiking has become more and more popular in recent years.
Long distances not only strengthen the will of tourists, but also exercise their bodies. However, the safety of hiking should be given enough attention. Here are some things to pay attention to. 1. It is best to go with a group of at least three people. You can take care of each other on the way. But there should not be too many people, otherwise it will interfere with each other and make it inconvenient to move.
1. 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, which is generally a little slower at the two ends and a little faster in the middle. Start walking slowly and then speed up after a few days.
You should take a long break during the day, usually at noon. The resting place should avoid direct sunlight and low-lying, humid places. 4. Ensure sufficient sleep time and nutritional supplements. Do not eat only dry food for a long time. Try to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. 5. It is ideal to wear hiking shoes or special hiking shoes when hiking.
Because this kind of shoes has a certain elasticity, and is also light, breathable, and non-slip, it can play a moderate buffering role for 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 the area 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 tour, 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. When 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 it 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 the mountain, the body should be slightly leaned forward; when climbing steep slopes, a zigzag route should be taken.
When going down the mountain, the body should be leaned back and the lower limb muscles should be relaxed to avoid back and leg pain. 9. The daily itinerary for hiking should be determined according to one's physical condition. Generally, 4 to 5 kilometers are walked per hour. After each walk, you can rest for 15 minutes to recover your strength. 1 Deserted Island 2 Deserted Island There are no luxurious hotels. Carry a backpack with your favorite person and set up a tent.
