奔腾不息的自然力量 Small but mighty
Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park
Athabasca Falls is one of the most striking waterfalls on the Icefields Parkway, and a visit to Jasper National Park in Alberta wouldn't be complete without it. Despite its low height of just 23 meters, the incredible volume and intensity of the falls make it a renowned gem of the Canadian Rockies. The falls are fed with pristine water flowing from the Columbia Icefield glaciers and snowmelt from neighboring mountains. Mount Fryatt makes for the perfect backdrop with its horn-shaped summit; a result of being carved and sculpted by glaciers from all angles over the years. Mount Fryatt consists of sedimentary rocks deposited from the Precambrian to Jurassic eras.
贾斯珀国家公园阿萨巴斯卡瀑布
阿萨巴斯卡瀑布是冰原公园路上最引人注目的瀑布之一,没有它,参观亚伯达省的贾斯珀国家公园就不算完整。尽管它的低高度只有23米,但令人难以置信的瀑布体积和强度使它成为加拿大落基山脉著名的宝石。这些瀑布由哥伦比亚冰原冰川流出的纯净水和邻近山脉的融雪补给。弗赖亚特山以其喇叭形的山顶成为完美的背景;这是多年来冰川从各个角度雕刻的结果。Fryatt山由前寒武纪至侏罗纪沉积岩组成。

“瀑布之城”中的小瀑布 Cascade in the 'City of Waterfalls'
Albion Falls, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
The spectacular Albion Falls is just one of more than 130 waterfalls that give the city of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada, its sobriquet: Waterfall Capital of the World. The city eagerly welcomes visitors to share in its natural beauty, and there are hiking and biking trails around the waterfalls as well as guided tours. On the edge of Lake Ontario, Hamilton lies 54 miles northwest of Niagara.
As you can see here, Albion Falls is a stepped waterfall with cascading flows that fan out spectacularly. It's 62 feet high (and almost as wide), and there are two viewing platforms at the top for jaw-dropping photo ops. Just obey the signs and watch your footing: There is some fencing, but the ground can be unstable near the cliff edges.
加拿大安大略省汉密尔顿阿尔比恩瀑布
壮观的阿尔比恩瀑布只是加拿大安大略省汉密尔顿市130多个瀑布中的一个,它的绰号是:世界瀑布之都。该市热切欢迎游客分享其自然美景,瀑布周围有徒步旅行和骑自行车的小径,还有导游。汉密尔顿位于安大略湖边缘,尼亚加拉西北54英里处。
正如你在这里看到的,阿尔比恩瀑布是一个阶梯式瀑布,层叠的水流以惊人的扇形散开。它高62英尺(几乎和它一样宽),顶部有两个观景台,用于拍摄令人瞠目结舌的照片。只要遵守指示牌并注意脚下:有一些围栏,但悬崖边缘附近的地面可能不稳定。

一张来自春天的快照 A snapshot of Spring
Laburnum trees and purple alliums
This snapshot of Spring is from VanDusen Botanical Garden located in Vancouver, British Columbia. Approximately 7,500 species and varieties of plants can be spotted here. Visitors are encouraged to take self-guided tours which are updated almost every month, as new plants take centre stage. Pictured here are the laburnum trees in full bloom. Despite requiring little maintenance, these trees can grow fast, surpassing close to 40 centimeters of growth each year. Given their gorgeous golden arch and walkways, laburnums easily draw visitors to VanDusen Botanical Gardens this time of the year. And if you miss their narrow period of full bloom, you could likely take a stroll through the Rhododendron Walk or take in the numerous flowers in vibrant colors spread across the garden.

这张春天的快照来自不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华的范杜森植物园。这里可以看到大约7500种植物。随着新工厂占据中心舞台,游客们被鼓励参加几乎每个月都会更新的自助游。图中是盛开的唇瓣树。尽管几乎不需要维护,但这些树木生长速度很快,每年的生长量超过近40厘米。由于其华丽的金色拱门和人行道,每年的这个时候,拉布努姆很容易吸引游客来到范杜森植物园。如果你错过了杜鹃花盛开的短暂时期,你很可能会在杜鹃花道上漫步,或者欣赏花园里铺开的无数色彩鲜艳的花朵。

高耸的山峰、壮丽的河流,还有繁盛的野生动物 Tall peaks, magnificent rivers and a thriving wildlife
Wheaton River, Yukon
Welcome to the Yukon, one of Canada’s three territories that offers magnificent mountains, numerous species of wildlife and an all-encompassing nature retreat. Out here, winters span at least five months and temperatures can plunge as low as -40°C. With a sparse population, the Yukon boasts massive natural landmarks. It is home to Canada’s tallest mountain – Mount Logan, the country’s largest non-polar icefields, and the fierce Yukon River which runs more than 3,000 kilometers. The Yukon also has a thriving population of wildlife consisting of moose, black bears, wolves, caribou, and Dall sheep to name a few.
This Canadian territory’s dark and long winters make it an ideal destination for spotting nature’s dazzling light show – the aurora borealis. In addition to that, visitors can partake in various seasonal activities ranging from slow and tranquil to fast and exhilarating. What better way to explore the Yukon than going dogsledding with a pack of huskies? If you’re looking for a full-body workout, there’s skiing and snowshoeing to maneuver through the snowy trails across the wintery landscape. And if you’d rather lounge by the frozen lakes, you can drill a hole and try your hand at ice fishing. There’s something for everyone, here in the Yukon. For now, we’ll just take in the grandeur of this Canadian destination from today’s homepage image.
育空惠顿河
欢迎来到育空地区,这是加拿大的三个地区之一,这里有壮丽的山脉、众多的野生动物物种和一个包罗万象的自然疗养地。在这里,冬天至少要持续五个月,气温可能会下降到零下40摄氏度。育空地区人口稀少,拥有巨大的自然地标。这里有加拿大最高的山峰——洛根山,该国最大的非极地冰原,以及绵延3000多公里的凶猛的育空河。育空地区还拥有数量众多的野生动物,包括驼鹿、黑熊、狼、驯鹿和斑点羊等。
这片加拿大领土黑暗而漫长的冬季使其成为观看大自然耀眼的灯光秀——北极光的理想目的地。除此之外,游客还可以参加各种季节性活动,从缓慢而宁静到快速而令人振奋。还有什么比和一群哈士奇狗一起狗拉雪橇更好的探索育空地区的方法呢?如果你想进行全身锻炼,可以滑雪和穿雪鞋,在冬季的雪地上穿行。如果你想在冰冻的湖边闲逛,你可以钻个洞,试试冰上钓鱼。育空地区的每个人都有自己的东西。现在,我们将从今天的主页图片中领略这个加拿大目的地的壮丽。

Rideau Canal Skateway in Ottowa, Canada
Today we're at the iconic Rideau Canal Skateway in Canada's capital city of Ottawa. Each winter a 4.8-mile section of the canal downtown is converted into the world's largest—and second longest—outdoor skating rink. Rideau was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007, and every year this rink section becomes a featured attraction of Winterlude, a free, annual festival which attracts visitors from across the country for the first three weekends of February.
The 2022 Winterlude festival runs February 4-21 and features a variety of cold-weather activities, including ice-sculpture and snowman-building competitions, a gigantic snowflake playground, a snowy tug-of-war, winter sports lessons, and wide array of public art installations. With activities for people of all ages, Winterlude allows locals and tourists to indulge in Canada's cultural and artistic diversity, while transforming the city into a giant winter wonderland.
加拿大奥托瓦的里多运河滑道
今天我们来到加拿大首都渥太华标志性的里多运河滑道。每年冬天,运河市中心的一段4.8英里长的区域被改造成世界上最大、第二长的室外溜冰场。里多在2007年被联合国教科文组织指定为世界遗产,每年这个溜冰场区都会成为冬季乐园的特色景点,冬季乐园是一个免费的年度节日,在2月的前三个周末吸引来自全国各地的游客。
2022年的温特卢德艺术节将于2月4日至21日举行,以各种寒冷天气活动为特色,包括冰雕和堆雪人比赛、一个巨大的雪花操场、一场白雪皑皑的拔河、冬季体育课和各种公共艺术装置。Winterlude为各个年龄段的人提供各种活动,让当地人和游客可以尽情享受加拿大的文化和艺术多样性,同时将这座城市变成一个巨大的冬季仙境。

Kluane National Park
What looks here like an ice road for 50-foot-tall truckers is really Kaskawulsh Glacier in Canada's Kluane National Park. This corner of the Yukon is home to the largest ice field on Earth outside of the poles, with the slow, steady flow of more than 2,000 glaciers continually carving these vast canyons amid the peaks.
Speaking of peaks, glance up and you'll see the Yukon is also paradise for mountain lovers. And Kluane is its pinnacle, literally: Located within the park is Mount Logan, the highest mountain in Canada (and second-highest on the continent after Alaska's Denali).
库隆尼国家公园
对于50英尺高的卡车司机来说,这里看起来像是一条冰路,实际上是加拿大克鲁恩国家公园中的卡斯卡沃尔什冰川。育空地区的这个角落是地球上除极地以外最大的冰原的所在地,2000多条缓慢而稳定的冰川不断地在山峰之间雕刻着这些巨大的峡谷。
说到山峰,抬头一看,你会发现育空地区也是高山爱好者的天堂。Kluane是它的巅峰,字面意思是:位于公园内的是加拿大最高的山脉洛根山(仅次于阿拉斯加的德纳利山,是该大陆第二高的山)。

Canada, Quebec Red Bridge
When the Pont Rouge (Red Bridge) of Sainte-Agathe-de-Lotbinière was built over the Palmer River in 1928, covered bridges were already commonplace here in Quebec. Simple designs imported from the United States allowed relatively untrained workers to quickly construct crossings like this. 'Ponts rouges' (often called this whether or not they were painted red) popped up wherever rural French Canadians required a convenient river crossing—as many as 1,500 were built between the late 1800s and the 1950s. Today fewer than 100 still stand, and some—like this one—are protected by local and provincial agencies for historic preservation.
加拿大魁北克红桥
1928年,圣阿加泰德·洛比尼埃的红桥(Pont Rouge)在帕尔默河上修建时,盖梁桥在魁北克已经司空见惯。从美国进口的简单设计允许相对未经培训的工人快速建造这样的过境点19世纪末至20世纪50年代,在法裔加拿大人需要方便的河流穿越的地方,就出现了红桥(无论是否被漆成红色,通常称之为红桥),修建了多达1500座。今天,只有不到100个仍然存在,像这一个这样的一些是由地方和省级机构保护的历史保护。
