点评:We came to the centre for the Winter Skies learning vacation. What an amazing, exciting, learning adventure we had! We came a day early and left a day after the scheduled program because we came on the train (another story). Out of the seven nights we were there, we saw great displays of northern lights on four days.
There were interesting talks in the evenings about how the sun and magnetic fields create the lights. During the days, we got to go dog-sledding (what fun for both the dogs and us!), snowshoe walking, and riding in a komatik out onto Hudson Bay.
The food was extraordinarily good, especially for us as vegetarians. But non-vegetarians had great food as well.
The only downside was the dorm-style accommodations, with the bathrooms and shower down the hall. But that was very minor relative to the whole experience. Of course, it's rather cold there in February, but dressing appropriately helps a lot.
All in all, a wonderful, once-in-a-lifetime experience!
翻译:我们来这里参加“冬季星空”学习假期活动。这真是一次令人惊叹、激动人心的学习之旅!因为我们是坐火车来的(这又是另一个故事了),所以我们提前一天到达,晚一天离开。在我们待在那里的七个晚上里,有四天我们都看到了壮丽的北极光。
晚上还有关于太阳和磁场如何产生极光的精彩讲座。白天,我们体验了狗拉雪橇(狗狗和我们都玩得非常开心!)、雪鞋徒步,还乘坐科马提克船游览了哈德逊湾。
食物非常美味,尤其对我们这些素食者来说。当然,非素食者也能享用到很棒的食物。
唯一的不足之处是宿舍式的住宿,浴室和淋浴间在走廊尽头。但相对于整个体验来说,这只是微不足道的小问题。当然,二月份那里确实很冷,但穿合适的衣服会好很多。
总而言之,这是一次美妙绝伦、一生难忘的体验!
