Last night at Slave Lake !

I had a good night sleep last night but I couldn’t stop thinking about the northern lights I saw yesterday because it was such a beautiful scene ! Well, today we went hiking on the mountains near the Great Slave Lake. While hiking, I found many sedimentary rocks on the floor and my dad told me that some of the rocks located here are the oldest rocks located on the planet! I thought it was shocking so I picked some up and kept them. But, when I reached down and touched the soil on the ground, it felt really soft and damp and I think this is because of the permafrost underground.

I saw many animals while I was hiking but I kept my distance between them because I didn’t want to bother them and I didn’t want them to attack me. There were moose , wolves, artic fox but, one animal that I saw from far away and it looked like a large grey cat trying to seek shelter. I believe that if I guessed correctly, it is the endangered Species of Taiga Shield, the Canadian Lynx. Luckily I didn’t go bother it or there will be one less Canadian Lynx in the ecozone!

Also, while we were hiking, I saw many lowlands and plateaus but there weren’t much plants growing since the soil is very shallow but, there were a few trees I saw and they are, the paper birch, trembling aspen, black spruce and Jack pine.
