Canada has ten world heritage sites that rank with the likes of the pyramids in Egypt, the Galapagos Islands, and the ancient city of Damascus in Syria. They have been recognised by the UNESCO, which by 2010 had carefully reviewed and designated only 911 such in the world. The sites fall into two categories: natural and cultural. Natural sites are outstanding examples of major stages in the earth’s evolution. Among them Kluane National Park in the Yukon comes first. It is known for some of the world’s largest ice fields outside polar regions and a spectacular range of mountain environments. This rugged and magnificent wilderness covers nearly 22,015 sq km in the southwest corner of the Yukon. Kluane got its name from the Southern Tutchone word for “lake with many fish”. Two thirds of the park is glacier with interspersed bits of valleys, glacial lakes, alpine forests, meadows and tundra. Canada’s highest mountain, Mt Logan (5959 m), and the second highest, Mt St. Elias (5489 m), tower there. Another natural sight of signature attraction, Nahanni National Park, is found in the Northwest Territories, with nearly 5000 square kilometers of wilderness. It includes the South Nahanni watershed and canyon system, tundra-capped mountains, caves and the magnificent 90-metre Virginia Falls, twice the height of Niagara Falls. It’s a dream for many to take a once-in-a-lifetime river trip, with hot springs and abundant wildlife along the way. The cultural sites involve human endeavour. They include, in particular, Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland. It is a mustsee for its scenic varied geography: fjords that rival Scandinavia’s, the majestic barren lands, sandy beaches, mountain hiking trails. The site has 4500 years of human occupation, from the Stone Age to visits by French and Basque whalers, Jacques Cartier, and Captain James Cook.
