ये बग्गी हमारी बग्गी जैसी नहीं है। टुंड्रा बग्गी पहियों पर ऐसी जगहों की सैर कराती है जहां जाने का कोई सड़क मार्ग नहीं। टुंड्रा बग्गी दुनिया की उन अजग-गजब चीजों में से है जो सैलानियों को लुभाती है। हम बात कर रहे हैं कनाडा के मनितोबा में हडसन खाड़ी के मुहाने पर स्थित चर्चिल की। इसे दुनिया की पोलर बीयर (ध्रुवीय भालू) राजधानी कहा जाता है। 2006 में चर्चिल शहर की आबादी महज 923 थी। लेकिन इस शहर में ट्रेन जाती है, यहां बंदरगाह है और रोजाना उड़ानें। नहीं है तो बस बाकी कनाडा के लिए कोई सड़क नहीं है। चर्चिल में तीन इकोसिस्टम आकर मिलते हैं- उत्तर में हडसन खाड़ी, उत्तर-पश्चिम में आर्टिक टुंड्रा और दक्षिण में घने जंगल। यह इलाका मई से अगस्त तक पक्षियों को देखने के लिए, जुलाई से अगस्त की गर्मियों में बेलुगा व्हेल मछलियों को देखने के लिए और अक्टूबर-नवंबर में पोलर बीयर देखने के लिए खासा लोकप्रिय है। टुं...

Chef Emily Wells was unsure what to expect as she opened the doors of her seasonal restaurant in rural Prince Edward Island the same day Canada’s four Atlantic provinces bubbled together, allowing travel between them while keeping their borders restricted to everyone else. The result was far better than she could have imagined. “It was a remarkable summer, I was floored by it,” Wells said. “The bubble made all the difference. It certainly worked for us.” The border restrictions along with tough public health measures helped the east coast provinces, which have a combined population of 2.4 million, tamp down COVID-19 early on and largely keep the virus at bay even as the rest of the country entered a second wave of infections.

Wide-bodied 747 crowned Alaska’s fattest bear

October 7, 20201009 Views

In Alaska’s annual battle of heavyweights, a salmon-chomping bruin named 747 – like the jetliner – has emerged as the most fabulously fat. The bear, one of more than 2,200 brown bears roaming Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve, was victorious on Tuesday after a week of frenzied online voting in what has become an international sensation: Fat Bear Week. Winner 747 was a worthy champion, the park said in a statement. “This year he really packed on the pounds, looking like he was fat enough to hibernate in July and yet continuing to eat until his belly seemed to drag along the ground by late September,” the park said. There couldn’t have been a more epic matchup than the championship face-off between two aptly named bears: 747 and Chunk, aka Bear 32. In the end, 747 pulled ahea...

Walt Disney Co said on Tuesday it will lay off roughly 28,000 employees, mostly at its U.S. theme parks, where attendance has been crushed by the coronavirus pandemic, especially in California where Disneyland remains closed. About two-thirds of the laid-off employees will be part-time workers, the company said in a statement. Disney shut its theme parks worldwide when the novel coronavirus began spreading this year. All but Disneyland - nicknamed the Happiest Place on Earth - reopened, though the company was forced to limit the number of visitors to allow for physical distancing. “We have made the very difficult decision to begin the process of reducing our workforce at our Parks, Experiences and Products segment at all levels,” Josh D’Amaro, chairman of the parks unit, said...
