It is really hard to imagine the turf of Switzerland in darkness. One cannot witness it unless power vanishes. But it would happen in a park across Alberta.

Wood Buffalo National Park, which stretches across the Northwest Territories and Alberta, can provide a view of this kind on a huge scale. Earlier it was designated as Dark-Sky Preserve by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada.

The park is estimated to be the largest in Canada and is even larger than Switzerland. So, it has been dubbed as the largest dark-sky preserve in the world. After Greenland, this is the second-largest protected area in the world.

According to Mike Couvrette, Chairperson of the Thebacha and Wood Buffalo Astronomical Society (TAWPAS), and Tim Gauthier of Parks Canada, this area is perfect for the designation. Along with this, this region is far from the city life.

One of the authorities concerned said, "I originally heard about the dark-sky program back in 2010 or so when [there was] an annoucement about the Kejimkujik National Park. And I thought, if they can do it in the middle of Nova Scotia, why can't we do it here?"

So, it would be interesting to note and capture the image of dark sky preserve.
