The first weeks we had a lot of snow which was a lot of fun. After work or during the weekend, there was a possibility to go to the park or on Mont-Royal to do cross country skiing. There are many spots to visit and while the Covid restrictions were lifted gradually, more things became possible, e.g., enjoying Montreal\u2019s food specialties like bagels and poutine! Towards the end of my stay, I took the opportunity to discover the country because I don\u2019t expect to be back soon. I visited Quebec City, Toronto, Vancouver, and parts of Vancouver Island. This was very cool, especially to see the differences in nature between the East (still in winter mode) and West (very green and flowering, and with eagles and black bears). My overall favorite activity was very Quebecois: collecting maple water and producing maple syrup in a small private sugar shack \u2013 and enjoying maple candy after a day in the woods!

We three ArcTrain students had lots of fun exploring Montreal after the work (e.g., the old port and the Mont-Royal). Life started to revive after the long-time lockdown during the pandemic, which also happened in the university. I made much progress in my Ph.D. project and developed contacts with Canadian students in polar science. Besides working, I also had some exciting moments during my travel in Canada. My first time walking in such heavy snow, standing on the over 500 m high CN tower in Toronto, and facing the mighty Niagara Falls should be precious memory in my life. Overall, I enjoyed my research stay a lot in Canada. The passion and generosity of the sea ice group people helped me getting used to the local life quickly, and support from supervisors helped me overcome obstacles in research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><a href=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"3357\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/?attachment_id=3357\" class=\"wp-image-3357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/arctrain.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/19-02-2022.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Linda, Yuqing and Franziska enjoying the Winter in the old port of Montreal (Credits: Y.
