Burns Bog
 

...Yeah, Burns bog is on fire again. They said once it was on fire for a period of months.


If you dont know Burns Bog is in Delta, British Columbia. It's the largest undeveloped urban landmass in North America. It is apparently the largest raised peat Bog on the West Coast or something like that.


But its on fire again.


I just sort of felt this deserved a thread for some reason.


EDIT: So my buddy came over and I went outside, and its all smokey because of the fire on the bog.

The bog is a ****ton of distance away. Sort of.

My mom also said when she was a teen the bog was on fire for 3 and a half years.

It smells like death. Death and campfire.

did anyone else see the pun in BURNS Bog when you read that it was on fire?

Re: Burns Bog
 

Is it true that the unique ecosystem sustains a wide variety of flora and fauna?

Re: Burns Bog
 

Hahaha...Indeed it is.

Re: Burns Bog
 

Yes but not so much fauna because its ground is kind of acidic, and really literally unstable. You can bounce up and down on it. It's kind of fun. They're mostly birds there.

I went on a university geological survey to the exact area it was burning about 6 months ago, so it's kind of funny and kind of creepy.

On my way home from the campus today, it was really smoggy and I wondered why. I didn't figure out until I got home.

OMG!!! people in the lower main land go look at the sun

Re: Burns Bog
 

I looked at it all the way home.

It was neat.

A sign of the apocalypse, no doubt.

Re: Burns Bog
 

I remember once I went to the Bog for a field trip. I almost lost a boot. A knee high gum boot.

Re: Burns Bog
 

wow, wish there was something like that here in US.

Re: Burns Bog
 

Which aspect?


The fact that something rare is on fire, or the fact that its something rare?
