Today’s Top 5

Back to the wild

I am struck by the lack of civilization in this photo. Except for a few buildings on the Canadian side and the one building on the American side, it is all wilderness. Today the Canadian side is chock full of casinos, hotels, and eating establishments with loud signs.

I wonder if there were any of those "Polar Bear" clubs in existence there? Did anyone attempt to swim in that water?
