| 释义 |
North Pole Stream is a tributary to the Little Southwest Miramichi River, with its headwaters in the Christmas Mountains of north-central, New Brunswick, Canada. It is an important spawning stream for Atlantic Salmon, and renowned among fly fishers. The Mi'kmaq referred to the stream as "Kadunnatquegak" (watching salmon in a pool). The English name seems to have originated with lumbermen, about 1840. Two theories have been suggested for its origin:[1][2]
The name inspired A. F. Wightman to name the adjacent peaks after Santa Claus' reindeer. These peaks are now referred to as the Christmas Mountains. See also
