Travelling through Gros Morne National Park, is like nothing else. An UNESCO World Hertiage Site shaped by colliding continents and grinding glaciers. It is filled with soaring fjords and moody mountains, that tower above a diverse panorama of beaches and bogs, forests and barren cliffs. 
You can cruise the dramatic, sheer-walled gorge of Western Brook Pond. Spot moose and caribou. Hike up to alpine highlands where Arctic hare and ptarmigan thrive on tundra, and explore the colourful culture of nearby seaside communities.

Long-tailed Duck - Clangula hyemalis 
Long-tailed Duck is a lover of cold waters. Often the most abundant bird in the high Arctic. Large flocks are often far out at sea; many spend the winter on such northern waters as Bering Sea, Hudson Bay, and Great Lakes. Far more vocal than most ducks. They were formerly known as "Oldsquaw," not politically correct by any means, but a reference to its "talkative" behavior. It should be noted that the male is much more vocal.

The blue hour comes from The French expression l’heure bleue, which refers to the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The time is considered special because of the quality of the light at this time of day. Many photographers revere this time of day, where the natural lighting is dim enough to bring out the darkness, yet light enough to avoid using flash. This fantastic overcast lighting gives you deep saturated colors and a lovely surreal atmosphere.

While at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, during the warmer months you may spot these cute little fellows. Commonly called gophers, or sik-sik, after a call they make to warn each other of predators, they are the largest and most northerly of ground squirrels.

When these colder winter months set in, arctic ground squirrels avoid the harsh weather and lack of food by escaping to underground burrows and slipping into a deep sleep for around eight months.

Once inside their nests, Arctic ground squirrels' body temperatures drop as low as -2.9C – the lowest measured in a mammal – and their major organs slow while others shut down entirely, making them appear dead to the world.

One neat fact: The oldest discovered arctic ground squirrel remains have been found in Alaska and date back 1.8 to 2.5 million years. •

This time of year, the fall colours are popping in Yukon! It is an absolutely amazing time to visit, to see these vibrant yellows along mountainsides and roadways.
🍂📷
Where would you like to view fall colours this year? •

We have been sunset hunters the past few evenings. Searching for those devine colourful images. 🌅🌅🌅 Last night we went for a drive in search of some clouds for a nice sunset, as the past few nights have been completely cloudless. South of us there was no clouds whatsoever, so we decided on driving North where I could see some clouds in the distance. The further we drove, the more we realized that the clouds were unfortunately more inland. ⛅🌥🌥 We ended up in the quaint village of Bayfield, an hour before sunset. We took a stroll around the pier taking some shots. Much to our surprise these beautiful puffy clouds came rolling in over the lake, and the winds started to die down. We were rewarded with an epic sunset!
😍😍😍 Where is your favourite place to catch the sunset?

During the Klondike gold rush, Skagway was the primary starting point for the hoards of men looking to strike it rich. A “Brotherhood” of the North was formed where men from all parts of the world could meet and get to known each other. They became known as the Arctic Brotherhood and it was not long before every northern frontier town, settlement, and mining camp had their own Arctic Brotherhood chapter.
