守候浪漫的极光

北极光，怀特霍斯，加拿大育空地区

极光通常也称为极光，是地球天空中的自然光显示，主要出现在高纬度地区（北极和南极附近）。极光显示出明亮光的动态模式，表现为覆盖整个天空的窗帘、光线、螺旋或动态闪烁。

在育空地区等北部地区，观赏极光的最佳时间是 8 月下旬至 4 月中旬。在夏季的几个月里，即使在太阳风活动强烈的时候，夜空也不够黑，看不到北极光。隆冬时节，气温可能降至零下 40 度，穿着合适的冬季服装欣赏展览非常重要。

冬天的乐趣 Good cold fun

魁北克冬季嘉年华

在2月大斋节之前，世界各地会举办庆祝活动，其中广为人知的活动大多位于气候温暖的城市，如里约热内卢和新奥尔良，在圣灰星期三（大斋节首日）之前，狂欢者们会穿着精美的服装狂欢。而魁北克冬季嘉年华则截然不同，正如我们今天的照片展示的那样，这里的庆祝活动充满冬日氛围，有冰雕、雪橇比赛等等冬天才有的特色活动。如今，魁北克的冬季嘉年华已经成为整个西半球规模最大的冬季节日。

Quebec City, Quebec, Canada

Among all the pre-Lenten celebrations that take place around the world in February, the most famous are associated with warm-weather cities like Rio and New Orleans, where revelers party it up in elaborate costumes during the run-up to Ash Wednesday. It's a different affair in Quebec City, pictured here, where participants in the Quebec Winter Carnival enjoy all things winter, from snow sculptures to sleigh races. This former frontier outpost, and little sister to Montreal, is known for its spirited embrace of the coldest, darkest season. No surprise that its winter festival is the biggest in the Western Hemisphere.

美丽又危险 Beautiful and dangerous

亚伯拉罕湖，艾伯塔省，加拿大

冬天冰冻的亚伯拉罕湖虽然美丽，其下却暗藏杀机：湖底的沼气被困在冻结的湖面下，形成了这些清晰可见的小气泡。这些自然形成的美景令摄影师趋势若骛。

加拿大阿尔伯塔省贾斯珀国家公园

贾斯珀国家公园拥有众多令人惊叹的瀑布，但唐格尔溪瀑布的多层瀑布构成了必看的奇观。瀑布位于阿尔伯塔省93冰原公园道附近，很容易到达。坦格尔溪瀑布（Tangle Creek Falls）的水雾在高速公路上也能感受到。如果你想拍一些令人惊叹的照片，那么下了高速公路，走近瀑布，真正沉浸在瀑布的美景中可能是值得的。

Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Jasper National Park boasts numerous breathtaking waterfalls, but the multi-tiered cascade of Tangle Creek Falls makes for a must-see spectacle. Located off the 93 Icefields Parkway in Alberta, the falls are easily accessed. Tangle Creek Falls' misty spray can be felt out on the highway itself. If you're looking to capture some breathtaking shots, it may be worth getting off the highway and going closer to the falls to truly soak in its beauty.

北极之王 Kings of the north

北极熊周

陆地上最大的食肉动物在冰冷的北方漫游。像这样的北极熊一生中大部分时间都在海冰上度过，而不是在陆地上，它们会跟踪自己最喜欢的猎物：海豹。北极熊极易御寒，特别适合在冰上生活，因此它们特别容易受到全球变暖的影响。他们的困境是北极熊周的焦点，每年11月的第一周，北极熊周将关注这些生活在大多数人看不见的地方的动物。

北极熊生活在格陵兰、挪威、俄罗斯、阿拉斯加和加拿大的部分地区。加拿大的大多数北极熊生活在广阔的哈德逊湾附近，在这里可以看到海豹河三角洲附近。随着夏季的结束，几个月来一直生活在脂肪储备区的饥饿熊聚集在哈德逊湾沿岸，等待结冰，以便它们能够重新开始捕猎。由于气候变化，夏季的无冰期变长了，缩短了熊的狩猎季节，使人类与熊相遇的可能性更大。虽然后者对熊观察者来说似乎是个好消息，但这些海兽最好从远处观看。

Polar Bear Week

The largest carnivore on land roams the icy north. Polar bears like this one spend much of their lives on sea ice rather than terra firma, stalking their favorite prey: seals. Superbly insulated against the cold, polar bears are uniquely suited for life on the ice—so they're especially vulnerable to a warming planet. Their plight is the focus of Polar Bear Week, observed the first week of every November, bringing attention to these creatures who live far out of sight of most humans.

Polar bears live in portions of Greenland, Norway, Russia, Alaska, and Canada. Most of Canada's polar bears live near the vast Hudson Bay, seen here near the delta of the Seal River. As summer ends, hungry bears who have been living on fat reserves for months gather on the shores of Hudson Bay, waiting for ice to form so they can return to the hunt. Due to climate change, the ice-free period of summer has grown longer, cutting short the bears' hunting season and making human-bear encounters more likely. And while the latter may seem like good news for bear-watchers, these maritime beasts are best viewed from afar.

一次偏远的旅途 A very remote journey

Trans-Taiga Road, Quebec

If you want to challenge your physical fitness on the go, or if you want to test your mental strength for a lonely journey. Consider coming to Trans-Taiga Road： a very remote journey in Canada. Trans-Taiga Road was built to access a series of hydroelectric dams in Quebec’s north country, it sees very few motorists and almost no tourists.

The Trans Taiga is the northernmost road in eastern North America, crossing some of the continent’s most isolated landscape stretches. The Trans-Taiga Road branches off from the James Bay Road (French: Route de la Baie James) at kilometer 544. It was built as an access road to the hydroelectric generating stations of Hydro-Québec along the La Grande River and Caniapiscau River.

For most of it, you’ll be treated to expansive views of low hills carpeted in spruce trees. There aren’t too many landmarks to delineate this lengthy road, though, with the most prominent ones being Robert-Bourassa Reservoir at mile 39 and Caniapiscau Reservoir at mile 362.

横贯泰加路，魁北克

如果你想在旅途中挑战你的体能，或者你想在孤独的旅途中测试你的精神力量。考虑来Trans Taiga路：加拿大的一次非常遥远的旅行。横贯泰加公路是为了连接魁北克北部的一系列水电站而修建的，公路上很少有汽车司机，几乎没有游客。

横贯泰加是北美洲东部最北端的公路，穿过该大陆一些最孤立的景观延伸。跨泰加公路在544公里处从詹姆斯湾公路（法语：Route de la Baie James）分出。该公路修建为通往魁北克水电站沿拉格兰德河和卡尼阿皮斯卡河的水电站的通道。

在大部分时间里，你会看到覆盖着云杉树的低山的广阔景色。然而，没有太多的地标来描绘这条漫长的道路，其中最突出的是39英里处的罗伯特·布拉萨水库和362英里处的卡尼亚皮斯库水库。
