推荐一下今天和我小孩一起看的南极探险展系列
(
Race To The End Of The Earth+Imax movie： SHACKLETON'S ANTARCTIC ADVENTURE)

May 17 – October 14, 2013 (The museum opened until 10pm in the summer time)

Race to the End of the Earth recounts one of the most stirring tales of Antarctic exploration: the quest to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1911-1912.The exhibition explores the epic adventures of Norwegian Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert Falcon Scott of the British Royal Navy on their respective 3900 kilometre (1,800-mile) journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf to the Pole and back.

Race to the End of the Earth features photographs, paintings, and original artifacts from Amundsen’s and Scott’s expeditions, placing visitors in the midst of Antarctic exploration and research at the dawn of the last century.

A highlight of the exhibition’s dioramas and interactives is the life-sized re-creations of Scott’s hut at Cape Evans, including his study and three of his crew members’ living spaces, and Amundsen’s underground workrooms, where his crew was able to work on their gear protected from the extreme wind and cold outside.

Visitors can compare the different clothing and equipment, including one of the Norwegian team’s sledges and medical kit, and Amundsen’s own skis, gun, and wolf-fur coat with hood. Artifacts from the British team include a pony snowshoe, a sledging pennant, and manhauling gear, together with clothing items from Scott’s team members—mittens, balaclava, scarf, windproof tunic, shoes, and goggles.

To help transport people back in time, visitors can choose a character card and assume the personality of one member of the expeditionary teams. Moving through the exhibition, visitors will discover clues about their character’s experiences on the way to the South Pole.

A stunning video projection, digital map and other interactive exhibits reveal what scientists are learning today about Antarctica’s surprising sub-ice landscape, ocean currents and weather, and how people manage to live year-round in this forbidding yet fascinating place.

Summer of 2013 will be plucked from the pages of history at IMAX Victoria in the Royal BC Museum. The Theatre will present Shackleton’s Antarctic Adventure in conjunction with the Race to End of the Earth exhibit at the Museum. The exhibit focuses on two Antarctic explorers and their great race to the South Pole while the IMAX film, Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure, tells the extraordinary story of a third polar explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton, and his now-legendary 1914-1916 British Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. While never accomplishing its goal of the first crossing of the Antarctic continent, this expedition has become a larger-than-life testament to heroism and human endurance, with all 28 men surviving nearly two years in the barren, frigid Antarctic when their ship, Endurance, was caught in pack ice and eventually crushed.

"There aren't many stories of human endurance that compare to this one."
The New York Times

据QQ说，维多利亚是加拿大餐馆最多的城市，每次去都会试试不同的餐馆，这次去的这家西藏餐馆，价格实惠，也很好吃，服务也是非常地好，营业时间也特别，晚上八点半就关门了


餐馆里挂了两副达赖的画像


这盘小食最左边的最好吃，很象生煎包，但更多汁，肉馅里有洋葱，很香


这盘炒牛肉，香香辣辣的，也很好吃


咖喱猪肉也不错



饭后甜点



周日的早餐是在我喜欢的意大利餐馆Pagliacci's吃的。价廉物美，餐馆用的鸡蛋也是走地鸡蛋
