| Journey beneath the snow into a secret world where shrews weighing less than a dime forage for insects and lemmings scurry along vast tunnel systems. Explore an amazing landscape where grey jays lay their eggs at 40 below zero and wood frogs freeze solid, only to thaw with the coming of spring. Rethink the popular misconception that only the largest and hardiest animals survive the brutal subarctic winter. Learn how local cultures adapted to such an unforgiving environment by sleeping OUTSIDE (if you like...) in an igloo or quinzhee built with your own hands. If that’s not your thing, you can always relax in a nice warm bed while the northern lights shimmer out your window. A traditional dog sled ride through the forest, snow sampling with CNSC research staff and a trip onto the sea ice of Hudson Bay by snowmobile round out this truly unique experience. | | | 2009 CNSC Learning Vacation Brochure Now Available!
