My Adventure Exploring Wood Buffalo National Park by Helicopter

I did some unique photography, this summer, of Wood Buffalo National Park - one of the largest National Parks in the world and part of the southern northwest territories/northern alberta. Seeing it from a helicopter was something else, I can't describe the breathtaking experience it was.

Most memorable experience was when the geese flew in formation with the chopper, although thankfully far enough away. I got a few pics of it out the door of the helicopter.

I spent about 3 years covering the South Slave Region of the Northwest Territories. I hope to cover every region of the Canadian North like I did this area, I hope to show this unique part of the country to the world, for everyone to appreciate and enjoy.

If anyone is interested I worked on the article for a while and all the video and photos are brand new from me.. check it out, have a read and appreciate this unique part of the country.

WOW. Well I wonder how many people would like to have your job besides ME! Thanks for sharing this link, very enjoyable reading, photos and educational.

Thanks, for three days after my head was spinning. I can't believe I got that kind of opportunity!

Awesome stuff Karl. I have a buddy who is a chef at the lodge there. Been promising him for years I'd get up his way. Maybe this is what kicks my butt in gear.

Cheers

Definitely a must do experience, especially by air ..just unbelievable wild up there. Crazy aurora weather too in 2012-13 I hear! Go go go ! I'm doing another article for LBW in the near future cruising over a set of class IV rapids in a plane surveying birds.

Is your buddy a chef at Blachford Lake Lodge, in Yellowknife, out of curiosity?

wow Karl, awesome!

No, he's closer to the Park - Fort Smith I think. Will send him an email and ask.
