For a few special days each autumn, Point Pelee National Park is a temporary home to thousands of migrating Monarch butterflies. As soon as favourable conditions occur, they begin one of nature’s greatest journeys by crossing Lake Erie. They cannot linger, for their destination is some 3000 km further south, in the mountains of central Mexico!
