Wanuskewin Heritage Park is in Saskatchewan. Opimihaw Creek (pictured) is a tributary to the South Saskatchewan River. Due to its unique topography with deep valleys in otherwise flat prairies, it has been used by the Great Plains peoples for over six millennia. The valley was used as buffalo jump, for habitation, to gather plants, and to access fresh water. There are several archaeological sites in this relatively small area. Have you ever been to Wanuskewin Heritage Park?

The ice patches in Yukon have been first discovered in 1997. They are different than glaciers, unlike the latter, they do not move downhill. First Nations peoples were hunting caribou and sheep in the area, and the ice has preserved hunting weapons and other tools from otherwise perishable materials, illustrating the technology of these nomadic hunters. The oldest tools have been dated to be about 7,500 years old. Before today's survey, have you heard of Yukon Ice Patches?

The Transatlantic Cable Ensemble comprises the two termini of the world's first permanent transatlantic telegraph cable, which revolutionized the long-distance communication. The eastern terminus, the Valentia Transatlantic Cable Station in Ireland, was built in 1868, while the western terminus, the Heart's Content Cable Station (pictured), was finished in 1876. The sites were closed in the 1960s but still preserve a lot of intact original equipment. Have you ever visited Heart's Content Cable Station?
