Photo AlbumWhy they call Canada the "Great White North"Dec 22, '07 1:52 PM
for everyone
For those of you who have never been to Canada -- and more so for those of you who have never seen snow -- here is the photo evidence of why they call Canada the "Great White North." Upon first approaching Canada from the air, you may think you are actually landing on Io, the frozen chunk of ice that orbits the planet Jupiter. Upon closer inspection, however, you will actually find evidence of life. My first thought whenever I fly into the Great White North in winter is: "Why do people choose to live here...???"

still looks like jupiter's moon

frozen ice with frozen lake
  

frozen ice with frozen trees
