That knife is...

...yellow.

Yes, it's a Yellowknife, as in capital city for the Northwest Territories. 62° 28' N 114° 27' W. Thanks to the beauty of frequent flyer points, we'll be jetting up for the Caribou Carnival and (je prie) the Aurora Borealis. 23-25 March.

Whats the obsession with cold northern places?

Happy New Year! I know its a bit late.. but better late than never.... I wish you and the hubby all the best in 07'

No obsession. querrelle would love to see the Northern Lights. I've seen them, but never from where they're their prettiest.

Thanks...you too!

Come! Should only cost about AU$3000 for the flights (and 30 hours each way)!

Very cool- I hear its beautiful there!

[jawnbc]

You can seem the aurora sometimes where you are, eh?

I have seen it a couple of times- never in "Amazing" form. The trick is being outside at night to appreciate it ;)

Spectacular! We used to do family camp-outs in Northern Alberta and loved to see the lights. Now that my sister and I have moved south (Calgary) we usually end up meeting the folks in the middle. Need to get back up there one day soon.

Take some good binoculars, great time of year to see Saturn, Whirlpool Galaxy (M51).

I've never been in the winter, only in the 23.999999999 hours of sunlight season. But I have seen the lights in other northern Canuckian locals and they're amazing!

Have a great trip!!
