From ice fields to wildlife
Yukon in winter
In March 2023, I had the unique opportunity to spend a full week in Yukon, in northwestern Canada
“Never for me the lowered banner, never the last endeavour”
With this phrase from Sir Ernest Shackleton, I set off from Ushuaia to Falklands, South Georgia, Elephant Island, Orkney island, Antarctica and the South Shetland Islands. An expedition to the little-visited far south of our planet,the seventh continent.
A winter adventure in the Canadian Rocky Mountains
Snowy rugged peaks, dense white forests and frozen lakes. That’s winter sports in the Canadian Rocky Mountains where there are plenty of snow-sure ski resorts. By invitation I combine Edmonton with a visit to Jasper and experience a phenomenal winter sports adventure.
Arctic Canada, the Unknown North
The extremes of Arctic Canada, I want to experience it. In icy cold looking for the mythical narwhal, an icon from the time of the Vikings, when thrones were decorated with the Narwal horn. Sleeping in a fluttering tent on two meters thick ice, surrounded by polar bears. I push my limits and travel north in search of the unknown.
Yukon, Larger than Life
At the end of June, Gabrielle Deelstra made a self-drive through northwestern Canada, exploring old mining villages and scenic nature parks. “I thought yukon was going to surprise me. But that it would be so overwhelmingly beautiful, I couldn’t have imagined.”
