I’ve been thinking about latitude and climates a lot lately.  It’s neat how much climate variation you can see just by going to the other side of a mountain, going up in elevation, or going a little further north.  Although I enjoy the mild climates and abundant life of the tropics, I find that I really like to visit the harsher climates of the higher latitudes.  The variety is just interesting.

I photographed this little beaver in the middle of the night in the Canadian arctic neat the Peel River in the Northwest Territories. There were more beavers in the arctic and sub arctic than I expected.  Seeing them in that environment, I can’t help but picture them cozy in their dens hibernating during the long winters waiting for those endless summer arctic days, but it’s interesting that thy don’t actually hibernate in the winter.
