I get paid to spend a week in one of the most
beautiful places on Earth. Marathon is located
on a peninsula jutting from the rocky northern shore of Lake Superior. Coves and islands frame the view towards the
dark blue expanse. Their world class
cross-country ski trails hosted the Canadian Olympic ski team in the past.
Pity the thermometer says minus 34 celsius this
morning. But then, the cold has its
assets. A spectacular sundog appeared
one early morning. This phenomenon is
unique to colder climes--the flare is created by sunlight’s play on ice
crystals. Then there were the northern
lights—except I was snuggled indoors when they made their appearance. If only it were cold enough to see ice caves.
