the {{PAGENAME}} [[graticule]] is at {{Today's location|lat=55|lon=-114|text=55, -114}}. There's Slave Lake, which has a small airport, and a highway. And there's part of Lesser Slave Lake. And mosquitoes. And bears. Also there is better Google Maps imagery for Ulaanbaator, Mongolia than for Slave Lake. Compare for yourself.
