Wildfire Smoke Obscures Giant Mine Lookout

A static aerial view captures the Giant Mine Scenic Viewpoint along the Ingraham Trail outside Yellowknife, enveloped in dense wildfire smoke. The thick haze erases the horizon line entirely, blending land and sky into a seamless, muted brown gradient. A single vehicle drives down the road. Filmed during one of the worst air quality days in Yellowknife’s history, this rare environmental moment offers a haunting visual of climate and wildfire impact in Canada’s North.
