I just got back from a canoe trip on the Nahanni River in the NWT. The North is a spectacular place, and as I’m just beginning to discover, has some really fascinating stories of evolutionary history. Check out this blog post I did on camels on Ellesmere Island if you’re interested!

I bet it is even better as winter transitions into summer. At high latitudes (I grew up at 65.5 degrees north in Sweden), spring is a brief intense experience. Everything explodes to life in rapid motion as if every organism realises that summer is short. The nights are long and you seem to not need sleep. When I immigrated to Canada, the one thing I was homesick for was the intensity of the northern Swedish spring. I have never been to the true arctic, but I understand completely!
