This year, Calgary, Alberta, and Lake Superior’s ice caves near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, landed on the list along with the Setouchi Islands of Japan and Puglia, Italy, among many others. Though I wrote about the ice caves, I played no role in their selection, or that of Calgary. To find out how they made the cut, I spoke with Amy Virshup, who took over as Travel editor for The Times last autumn and was immediately thrown into the compilation of the list. Readers with a good memory may recall that Calgary was also on the 52 Places list for 2014.
