【推荐2】Canada: off the beaten track — three to see


Rocky Mountains

The Rockies run along the Alberta-British Columbia border and are inside two huge national parks — Banff to the south and Jasper to the north. Banff was Canada’s first wildlife reserve and these days the town of Banff is the most popular tourist destination in the country. But Jasper National Park is larger, wilder, and less well-explored. Between the parks of Banff and Jasper is the Columbia Icefield, a huge bowl of ice made up of about thirty glaciers. If you don’t like ice, the Rockies offer wildlife walks, swimming, camping, hiking, canoeing, mountain climbing, and plenty of places to stay. Accommodation costs(住宿费)are usually lower at the Jasper end of this superb mountain playground.


Lunenburg

Lunenburg is south from Halifax, along a foggy coast of rocky seas, fishing villages, and historic towns. It is a beautiful little shipbuilding town and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Fishing has always been big in Lunenburg: most of Atlantic Canada’s deep-sea fishing boats leave from here, and North America’s biggest fish-processing factory is located in the town. Lunenburg still has many wooden buildings and as a result feels like an 18th century British colonial(殖民时期的)town. You can visit the town’s Fisheries Museum or just wander around, looking at the wooden houses in the old streets — and of course have a dinner of seafood.


Churchill

One of the few places in the north that is “easy” to get to, Churchill is a 1.5-day train journey from Winnipeg. Churchill is a major port, but eco-tourism is becoming more and more important. Although it is freezing, many visitors come to see the polar bears, whales, Arctic foxes, and if they are lucky, the Northern Lights. Churchill calls itself the “Polar Bear Capital of the World”, and for a good reason: the town sits right in the middle of the animals’ migration route, and the cute but deadly white bears sometimes wander into the town. Tours to see the bears from September to November are the most popular attraction.

1. Which of the following was Canada’s first wildlife reserve?
A.Banff.B.Jasper.
C.Halifax.D.Winnipeg.
2. What do we know about Lunenburg’s fish-processing factory?
A.It is now a museum.B.It is a wooden building.
C.It was built in the 18th century.D.It is the largest in North America.
3. What do most visitors to Churchill want to see?
A.Whales.B.Polar bears.
C.Arctic foxes.D.The Northern Light.

【推荐3】Reykjavik, Iceland

Although Iceland’s capital city is one of Europe’s coldest spots, it has plenty of natural hot springs to warm up in and some of the best can be found in the Nauthólsvík area of the city. The annual Winter Lights Festival, which takes place in February, is a spectacular celebration.

Visitors can try their hand at a range of winter sports or skate on the city’s Tjornin pond. Many cozy coffee houses sell rúgbraue — locally made, dark, sweet bread.

“An unmissable experience during winter is a dip in one of the city’s many outdoor geothermal (地热的) swimming pools,” says Eliza Reid, who co-founded icelandwritersretreat. com with Erica Green. “There is no experience quite like being in these naturally warm waters with snowflakes tickling your nose. Each swimming pool has its own character, and everyone has their favorite.”

Where to sleep: Owned by Icelandair, Hotel Marina is a colorful hotel located in one of the city's trendiest districts.

Hotel Marina, Myrargata 2, Reykjavík; +354 560 8000.

Where to eat: Dill Restaurant in the Nordic House cultural center. Chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason is enthusiastic about local produce and the food here is some of the freshest in Iceland.

Dill Restaurant, Sturlugotu 5, Reykjavík; +354 552 1522.

What to do: Harpa, the city's concert hall, was designed by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson to reflect Iceland’s geology. It’s constructed from more than a thousand glass blocks.
