Rapid Evaporation of Boiling Water in Yellowknife (-30C)

People often ask how cold it gets in Canada, here in Toronto it’s not so bad, but in the Northwest Territories and in the Yukon it can be unbelievably cold. So cold that you could throw a cup of boiling water out your window and it would turn to snow before it even hit the ground.

83 Pound Lake Trout

Long time resident of Deline, N.W.T, George Kenny netted himself one hell of a trout. This incredible fish weighed 83lbs (38kg) and despite his best efforts to release the fish, he knew it wasn’t going to make it. For most people a trout like this is a once in a lifetime fish, but for George Kenny, it was just another day at the office. He says he caught a much bigger one last year that he immediately released.

It is believed that a trout this size would be around 20 years old!
