  • Mount Bourgeau Panorama

    The view from the top of Mount Bourgeau in Banff National Park on 29 August 2011. The hike up and down is a total of 24 km with an elevation gain of 1500 m.

    The weather and communication relay shack on the summit is obviously helicopter supported and runs on solar power and fuel cells. It is an ideal location as there is a clear line of sight between Sunshine Village, Banff and west down the Bow Valley.

  • Fast flying fish

    BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Fast flying fish glides by ferry

    And if we caught it and cooked it quickly it would be a “fast fried fast flying fish”!

    More than I’ve ever seen. I did get hit in the face last year diving by a small jumping fish though. Good thing not this one!

    Does this mean the fish will be taking to the land if the oceans get too hot?

    Unfortunately BBC won’t let me embed the video so you need to go to the page. It wouldn’t run the video on my laptop but it runs on the desktop.
