Terrain and Climate of British North America

When Europeans first arrived the Natives showed the Europeans the enormous chunk of land we now know as ’Canada’. Back in the 1850s without the current travelling technology (airplanes) it could take months to get from one end of Canada to another. Even with the lengthy time it took there were also the obstacles the land, Canada,  so happily provided for the newcomers to stumble upon like mountain’s and great bodies of water.

Canada is known for being ice-covered and awfully cold, but what people don’t realize is that it isn’t all of Canada that is frozen cold for three-quarters of a year, just some places. In the West Coast of Canada the winters are reasonably calm and watery. Most of the year it is pretty moist and it doesn’t reach the peak coldness that other parts of Canada face. However The Northern part of Canada is quite the opposite to the West, the summers are brief and cool while the winters are stretched and nastily cold. Other than those the Great Lakes, Atlantic, and Prairies have hot summers and cold winters (with snow) which I would say is a good climate.
