friendly reminder that the vast majority of canada is nothing but utter and total isolation in every direction for at least a hundred miles, and it looks fucking beautiful too.
>>2839316Most of Canada is an illusion created from the style of map projection used.
>>2839316The US seems more diverse though. It even has its own Canada (Alaska)
>>2839329oh yeah thats why so many hike usa from coast to coast.
>>2839331Exactly, yeah. The US also has the most climates out of all other countries. Colorado is probably carrying this pretty hard.
>>2839316It'll also mcfuckin' kill you if you aren't hyperpreparedParticularly if you're in the western mountains
BC would be paradise if not for all the "wild" fires.
>>2839332it might be a dream scenario, but no one wants to hike a place you get shot for stepping on the wrong side of an imaginary line, its also too hot most of the year, no joy in hiking thtough a 40c+ desert. and it lacks waterways and rivers.
>>2839316There's good reason most of it is not inhabited.>and it looks fucking beautifulNot true. Only specific parts are. Majority of Canada's landmass is barren and just thousands of lakes due to massive glaciers that dragged their nuts across the land and left it looking like the moon surface with water
>>2839338>but no one wants to hike a place you get shot for stepping on the wrong side of an imaginary line, its also too hot most of the year, no joy in hiking thtough a 40c+ desert. and it lacks waterways and rivers.You've never looked at a map once in your life.
>>2839332>Michigan's ears perk up as it hears some hogwash about Colorado having the most climates and glares across the bar."Hold my craft beer..."
>>2839352You can judge climate variability fairly well based on precipitation (geographically) and temperature (annually) variation. Colorado is moderately up there in variability in the US as a whole but not the top.Precipitation variability and total record temp difference and *minimum* total native vascular plant speciesAlaska 4-250 inches 180F 2,750 speciesWashington state 6-170 inches 168F 3,600 speciesOregon 5-150 inches 172F 4,350 speciesCalifornia 2-130 inches 179F 7,250 speciesIdaho 9-70 inches 178F 3,050 speciesUtah 4-55 inches 186F 3,600 speciesArizona 2-45 inches 168F 4,350 speciesNevada 2-45 inches 175F 3,350 speciesColorado 7-50 inches 176F 3,300 speciesWyoming 5-45 inches 179F 2,700 speciesNew Mexico 6-45 inches 179F 3,950 speciesMontana 6-45 inches 187F 2,800 speciesAll of them also have at least two separate places that average more than 250 inches of snowfall, and 7 of them have places that average more than 400 inches a year.
>>2839380Fascinating, thanks for sharing!
Russia,canada and USA,who has the most beautiful wilderness?
>>2839380Nice. Please feel free to continue such autism as much as you like. I really enjoy these kinds of posts.
>>2839316Canada needs more parking lots and Walmarts
>>2839390Russian and Canadian wilderness are basically the same.
>>2839332Will there be even more climates if we add greenland?
>>2839650>if#TACO
>>2839647Russian wilderness actually has significantly more forest and different types of forest/climates. Russia has more forest than the USA and Canada combined and it's not all taiga like Canada, but it logs it faster than both presently for sale to china and Europe. Canadian wilderness is actually the least densely populated region on Earth other than Greenland and Antarctica, less than even Siberia. 80% of Canada's land area is the same looking coniferous taiga or tundra with bogs, this is part of why 95% of Canadians live within 150 miles of the USA border, 65-70% of them live just within 60-65 miles of the USA. Massively more Americans live north of 40N latitude than Canadians, about 105 million Americans live north of 40N (of which about 16-20 million live north of 45N). For comparison only 20-24 million Canadians live north of 45N.
>>2839316There's a weird quirk in parts of northern Canada where the shorter growing season is offset by the extended daily sunlight hours. Driving north you'll go from farm land to forest back to farm land again before more forest. When you get really far north its a pain in the ass to build anything because of the muskeg and permafrost moving and heaving.
>>2839338Youreapeeins on this site are unironically worse than Indians
>>2839677>>2839731Thanks for the info based anon
>>2839677did you miss on the last number?cuz you got more canadians north of 45N by a big degree despite saying the opposite right before that?
>>2839887The western US-Can border is at 49 N. 95% of Canadians are within 150 miles of the US border. Around half are just in southern Ontario or southern Quebec the former of which is farther south than the 45th parallel and the latter 49N or farther south for the majority of the population (Montreal and Ottawa are sub 46N). Which is well within 60 miles of the border. A degree of latitude is around 65-70 miles. Edmonton is farthest north 1 miles plus city in Canada and its sun 54N, or around 300 miles north of the border, Calgary is about 160, for example Quebec City is about 57 miles north of the border, like all of other major cities except in Alberta. Canada is also filling up so fast with jeets and foreigners it will be at 42 million total population soon.
>>2839916*1 million plus city
>>2839316Is there a point to going 50+ miles into the forest when you can go 5 miles into the forest and it's just as secluded?My county falls into the 5-10 people per square kilometer band, but the population is unevenly distributed, with over half the county completely unpopulated.
>>2839316theres too many mosquitos.
>>2840252>theres too many mosquitosDon't forget the black flies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f389hIxZAOc
>>2839327true. Canada is actually no bigger than California
>>2839316
>>2840307You could reenact the Terror
>>2839380Are you the same guy who talked about mountain peak statistics across Arizona a few months ago in another thread? I always enjoy your infodumps on this kind of stuff
