加拿大的发现日
发现日是加拿大育空地区的一个年度节日,用来纪念1896年在富矿溪发现金矿,这个发现开启了克朗代克淘金热,进而推动了育空领地的建立。淘金热吸引了数以千计的淘金者来此寻找财富,推动了重大的经济和社会变革。
发现日是一个纪念和回顾育空地区丰富的遗产、历史和自然资源的好机会,我们今天在照片中看到的美丽的翡翠湖就是其中之一。发现日也是一个用来纪念参与了克朗代克淘金热的淘金者们的冒险精神和坚毅品格的日子。整个育空地区会在这天举办各式节庆活动,包括游行、历史情景重现、淘金比赛、演唱会等等。政府办公室、学校和很多商业机构也会在这一天关闭,以便居民们可以参与到节日活动中来。
Discovery Day in Yukon, Canada
It's Discovery Day in Yukon, Canada, a day to commemorate the 1896 discovery of gold at Bonanza Creek. The event set off the Klondike Gold Rush, which attracted thousands of prospectors to the region in search of gold, leading to significant economic and social changes. The population increase led to Yukon separating from the Northwest Territories and the formation of Yukon Territory in 1898.
Discovery Day celebrates Yukon's rich heritage, history, and natural resources—like Emerald Lake, seen in today's image, known for its deep green hues. You'll find it on the Klondike Highway, which roughly follows the route used by the prospectors more than a century ago. It is also a day to honor the spirit of adventure exhibited during the gold rush. Government offices, schools, and many businesses close to allow people to participate in the festivities, including parades, historical reenactments, gold panning competitions, and concerts.

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。

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)。
