You'll Have Fun and Learn A Lot, Too!
Churchill Northern Studies Centre的点评
点评:I cannot say enough good about the “Lords of the Arctic” learning vacation at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. In all we saw 67 unique polar bears, went on a 50-minute helicopter ride over Hudson Bay, got to go dog sledding, and were given a tour of the town. The quality of activities packed into our five days was worth far more than the price they charged. Add to that the educational lectures, they are the best value of any Churchill package you can find. The dorm rooms, although basic, are clean and comfortable and the meals kept us fueled for our activity-filled days. The staff is professional and friendly. They did their best to accommodate every special request we threw at them: the post office for a passport stamp, an evening visit to the local artist’s market, and (my request) fresh bear tracks where I could safely take a “bare hand/bear paw” photo.
On my final leg home, a short flight from Atlanta to Pensacola, I sat next a gentleman who was fascinated with my week in Churchill. I found myself confidently discussing the diminishing sea ice, declining reproductive rates, and the global politics of polar bear management. Along with the fun and beautiful photo opportunities, I learned a lot!
翻译:我对丘吉尔北方研究中心的“北极之王”学习假期赞不绝口。我们总共看到了 67 只独特的北极熊,乘坐 50 分钟的直升机飞越哈德逊湾,乘坐狗拉雪橇,并参观了小镇。我们五天的行程安排质量远远超过他们收取的费用。再加上教育讲座,它们是您能找到的所有丘吉尔套餐中最具价值的。宿舍虽然简陋,但干净舒适,餐食让我们在活动丰富的日子里精力充沛。工作人员专业友好。他们尽力满足我们提出的每一个特殊要求:邮局盖护照章、晚上参观当地艺术家市场,以及(我的要求)新鲜的熊足迹,让我可以安全地拍一张“裸手/熊掌”照片。
在我回家的最后一段旅程中,从亚特兰大飞往彭萨科拉的短途航班上,我坐在一位对我在丘吉尔度过的一周着迷的绅士旁边。我发现自己可以自信地讨论海冰减少、繁殖率下降以及北极熊管理的全球政治。除了有趣和美丽的拍照机会外,我还学到了很多东西!
