Wood Buffalo National Park

Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada is the largest national park of Canada. It is larger than Switzerland and is the second largest national park in the world.

It has the largest herd of free roaming wood bisons and is one of the two nesting places of the endangered Whooping cranes.

The main office and the visitor center is at Fort Smith. The visitor center has a small museum showcasing the geological and ecological features among other things pertaining to the region.

In 2007, the world's largest beaver dam – about 850-metre (2,790 ft) in length – was discovered in the park using satellite imagery.

One of the most interesting features of the Wood Buffalo National park is the Salt Plains. Salt from ancient seas bubbles up to the surface here in springs, leaving behind mounds up to two metres high in some places. On a hot day, the surface moisture will evaporate, creating a shiny white crust of salt crystals as far as the eye can see.

Deposited many millions of years ago, the salt was once harvested by Indigenous peoples to preserve meat and fish. Today, it draws wildlife like bison, who enjoy the enormous salt lick. The area also has a range of unique salt-tolerant plant life.

During our stay here we stayed at the Pine lake rustic cabin.

We are the Jajabars. Jajabar in Bengali means a nomad or a vagabond. We plug ourselves in Edmonton, Canada and once the batteries are recharged, we start again. We have travelled to many countries around the world and have encountered lots of interesting experiences. So, we have decided to share these experiences with you. Hope you like our videos.
