明尼苏达州航海家国家公园获2026年度暗夜之地称号：夜空亮度均值21.45，为第二家获此荣誉的美国国家公园
明尼苏达州消息，位于该州北部、距明尼阿波利斯约五小时车程的航海家国家公园11月10日获 DarkSky International 授予 2026 年度暗夜之地称号，为该机构的年度最高荣誉。
航海家国家公园是第二家获此称号的美国国家公园，第一家为大峡谷国家公园，于 2019 年获奖。该园 2020 年已获国际暗夜公园认证。
美国国家公园管理局一份报告称，八成美国人在自家住处看不到银河。园方人员定期在园内五处地点以夜空质量仪测量黑暗程度，在 22.0 代表最暗天然夜空的标尺上，该园平均值为 21.45。
报道同时提到，今年 4 月国会通过、总统签署的决议撤销了邻近苏必利尔国家森林约 350 平方英里的二十年采矿禁令，范围靠近边界水域独木舟区荒野，园方流域周边的工业动向受到关注。
Minnesota Voyageurs National Park Named 2026 Dark Sky Place of the Year: Sky Brightness Averages 21.45, Second U.S. National Park So Honored
Minnesota — Voyageurs National Park, about a five-hour drive from Minneapolis in northern Minnesota, on November 10 received DarkSky International's 2026 Dark Sky Place of the Year award, the organization's top annual conservation honor.
Voyageurs is only the second American national park to receive the award. The first was Grand Canyon National Park in 2019. The park was certified as an International Dark Sky Park in 2020.
A National Park Service report says 80 percent of Americans cannot see the Milky Way from their homes. Park staff regularly measure darkness at five locations with a sky quality meter, and on a scale where 22.0 is the darkest natural night sky, Voyageurs averages 21.45.
In April, Congress passed and the President signed a resolution that reversed a 20-year mining ban covering roughly 350 square miles of Superior National Forest near the neighboring Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, a development noted alongside the award coverage.
