Amazing Fort Simpson close by, probably not far from the other Native American depiction Like Northern Territory Australia Arnhem Land stone city

Aquest magnífic parc va ser declarat Patrimoni Mundial per la UNESCO el 1978, un dels primers a aconseguir-ho. Hi pots trobar rius salvatges amb enormes cascades, profunds canyons, un ecosistema de coves calcàries i quilòmetres de sendes i camins per descobrir-lo. Els óssos grisos 🐻 i negres o alces també són habituals junt amb desenes d'espècies de fauna. La millor manera d'arribar-hi es amb avioneta.

Nahanni National Park Reserve in the Dehcho Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada, approximately 500 km (311 mi) west of Yellowknife,protects a portion of the Mackenzie Mountains Natural Region. The centrepiece of the park is the South Nahanni River (Naha Dehé). Four noteworthy canyons reaching 1,000 m (3,300 ft) in depth, called First, Second, Third and Fourth Canyon, line its whitewater river.The park was among the world's first four natural heritage locations to be inscribed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO in 1978 because of its picturesque wild rivers, canyons, and waterfalls.

The park's sulphur hot springs, alpine tundra, mountain ranges, and forests of spruce and aspen are home to many species of birds, fish and mammals. The park lies within three of Canada's ecozones, the Taiga Cordillera in the west, the Taiga Plains in the east and a small southern portion in the Boreal Cordillera.

According to Parks Canada, there are about 42 mammal species in the park, in addition to around 180 types of bird, 16 fishes and a few hardy amphibians, with the wood frog being the most commonly-found in the region.In the State of the Park Report 2009, the NWT government named ten special-concern, threatened, or endangered species that the Nahanni National Park Reserve provides appropriate year-round or seasonal habitat for, according to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). These include the common nighthawk, grizzly bear, olive-sided flycatcher, peregrine falcon, rusty blackbird, short-eared owl, wood bison, woodland caribou, wolverine and yellow rail. In addition, the bull trout and the Nahanni aster are listed, but without status; the Canada warbler and western toad are listed as possibly existing in the park.

Mammal species found in the park include the American black bear, American mink, beaver, Arctic ground squirrel, Canada lynx, collared pika, Dall sheep, fisher, grey wolf, hoary bat, hoary marmot, least chipmunk, least weasel, moose, muskrat, northern myotis, mule deer, pine marten, red fox, red squirrel, river otter, Rocky Mountain goat, snowshoe hare, white-tailed deer and several types of shrew and vole.

The diverse range of soils offers several specialized and uncommon habitats. More than 700 species of vascular plants and 300 species of both bryophytes and lichen can be found in the park, giving it a richer variety than any other area in the NWT. Nahanni aster is a very rare species of aster found only...

В Канаде есть одно загадочное место, даже не загадочное, а мрачное, если быть более точной. Это Долина Безголовых - The Valley of Headless Men. Она располагается в канадском национальном парке Наханни, Nahanni National Park Reserve of Canada. Долина Безголовых - это заповедное место. Чтобы сюда попасть, нужно оформить разрешение и не одно. Природа тоже настойчиво скрывает это место. Сюда можно добраться только по реке, вертолетом или пешком. В Долине полно глубоких, опасных каньонов, горячих источников и бурных рек. Зловещая история этой очень красивой долины началась в XIX веке. Среди золотоискателей быстро распространился слух о богатой долине, где много-много золота. Туда стали прибывать золотоискатели. Но сами местные жители всегда обходили эту долину стороной. В 1898 г. шестеро смельчаков отправились в долину на поиски золота, но они бесследно пропали. Полиция нашла их безголовые скелеты через какое-то время.

Спустя 7 лет, в 1905 г. там же пропали братья Мак Лауды и их приятель Роберт Вир. Их обезглавленные трупы нашли через 3 года. Таких несчастных случаев в долине произошло огромное множество.

Этим феноменом заинтересовались ученые, сюда стали отправлять исследовательские экспедиции. Сюда снаряжались экспедиции в 1962 г, 1978 г., 1980 г., 1997 г. С ними тоже произошли несчастные случаи. Последняя безголовая жертва была зафиксирована в 1990 г.

В 1978 году была сюда отправлена исследовательская экспедиция с известным американским исследователем аномальных явлений Хенком Мортимером. Она была великолепна экипирована. Эфир с экспедицией велся круглосуточно. Были записаны последние, странные слова радиста Рэя Уилсона: «Из скалы выходит .....пустота! Это ужасно!» Оператор слышал еще нечеловеческие крики команды. Сразу вылетел вертолет со спасателями. Спасатели прибыли. Но никого не нашли. Вообще ничего не нашли. Нашли тело одного из членов экспедиции через неделю, и оно было без ......догадайтесь чего?!

До сих пор никто не может объяснить, что там происходит.

Существует несколько версий: Версия № 1. В долине живет огромный снежный человек, очень злой. По-индейски, сасквоч - существо огромного роста и весом около 300 кг.

Версия № 2. Опасный густой туман виноват во всем. Что происходит в тумане никто не знает.

Версия № 3. В долине проживает некое неизвестное, дикое племя, которое карает всех, кто покушается на золото их предков. Это племя убивает золотоискателей, ритуально отсекая голову.

Версия № 4. Там орудует банда, у которой есть определенный стиль в совершении убийств. Банда отрезает головы, чтобы трупы было невозможно опознать.

Версия № 5. В долине есть некий тоннель, по которому осуществляется переход в другой мир, населенный темными сущностями.

Таким образом, вопросов остается больше, чем ответов: Кто и зачем обезглавливает трупы? Кому и зачем нужны человеческие головы?

P\s: Местные жители говорят: «Чтобы посещать Долину Безголовых, надо быть по-настоящему...

We had been hiking through the valley, it was cold and icy with occasional snowflakes. On the 2nd day, the weather became colder, wetter and very very foggy. We were careful not to get into danger. Suddenly, the fog lifted and we were at the base of Mount McKenzie, the weather was hot, sunny, there were birds everywhere. It was a mystical place because, it was eerily quiet. I went into the forest to have the toilet and when I returned, all my friends had gone, just totally disappeared. To this day, I don't know what became of them, it was the last time I...
