1. President Bush Declares That Offshore Drilling Will Save The Polar Bears September 27, 2008 The President of the United States, alarmed at the prospect of polar bears drowning as they desperately search for melting icebergs, has ordered- as a purely humanitarian gesture- the implantation of sixteen thousand ExxonMobil oil rigs in the Arctic Ocean. “This way the um ah polar critters will be um able to ah find sank sank sanctuary on oil rigs instead um them thar pesky ice cubes.

2. On The Move In Suffolk September 23, 2008 Suffolk residents are on the move, and we’re talking about the feathered variety. Suffolk has an abundance of fantastic bird sanctuaries, Minsmere, Dunwich, Havergate Island, Wolves Wood. Landguard and Timley Marshes to name a few, and it’s this time of year where the residents are getting restless for their great migration south for the winter. Equally, we expect to play host to those seeking refuge in the UK from the cold Arctic winter. Migrant wading birds continue to pass through, including curlew sandpipers, little stints and ruffs. Winter wildfowl return, with teal numbers increasing rap... (read more) Author: Kristian Phillips

3. Pros and cons of wind turbines, does it worth it? September 08, 2008 In short: resounding yes. Many are against wind turbines and wind farm building, and I have to admit they have a few good reasons other than the stupid „I don’t like the look of wind mills in the countryside”. Well, I don’t like that the Arctic is getting smaller and smaller every day, and the fact that maybe my children won’t be able to experience the world as it is today. Letting go of the untouched view is a small sacrifice in exchange for nothing less than the whole future of Earth. Other than the panorama there are a few reasons why one wouldn’t choose wind turbines over regular electric... (read more) Author: Jason Myers

4. Getting Away from it All September 03, 2008 There is a lesser-known small island in the North Atlantic called Iceland where you can still get away from it all and experience nature in a near pristine state. That is just what I needed. Iceland is a country roughly the size of Kentucky but with a lot fewer people. It is located a little below the Arctic Circle roughly between Greenland and the United Kingdom and about a 5-hour flight from the East coast of the US. It has a population of just over three hundred thousand people which means that the population density is very low. Population numbers and geography aside, Iceland...

8. EXTREME ADVENTURE TRAVELER ALERT ! July 28, 2008 Antarctica was discovered in the 1800s, but ancient cultures, including the ancient Greeks, knew it existed. They did not know it in a scientific way; they just speculated that there had to be land at the far southern end of the world. Some ancient cultures figured it had to exist as a way of balancing the weight of Europe and Africa. The ancient Greeks, who knew about the Arctic or North Pole, speculated there had to be an anti-North Pole or anti-Arctic. In fact, they gave Antarctica its name. Famed explorer Captain Cook, better known for his more temperate discoveries in the South ... (read more) Author: Ajay Mehandru

10. A Canadian Arctic City - Trip To Iqaluit In Nunavut July 24, 2008 In 2004, I completed two Inuit art buying trips to Iqaluit (formerly Frobisher Bay), the capital of Nunavut, Canada's newest territory. For both trips, I flew out of Ottawa on Canadian North airlines. The other airline that services Nunavut is First Air. Only the last half of the jets was allocated for passengers as the entire first half was for cargo. Being so remote, Canadian Arctic Inuit communities pretty well have to have everything shipped up there by plane or by boat during the summers since there are no roads connecting to the rest of Canada or even between each Nunavut community.

He concocts a strategy in his mind for when to feed the dogs their meals and when to feed them their snacks. Should he travel by day or travel by night? When and how much should they rest? Every musher has a different technique, but unexpected blizzards, dog sicknesses, a slip into the icy river or losing the course could all threaten their tim... (read more) Author: Mike Selvon

16. Towards 2025 - With Fewer Glaciers and Less Arctic Ice June 02, 2008 Many of the ice structures such as glaciers, ice in mountain areas, and the Arctic icecap are melting. Most of those structures will no longer be in existence within the next twenty years. Much of the Arctic ice has disappeared and many of the glaciers are shrinking. But with all these ice structures visibly melting, why are we not becoming more concerned about a future with almost no ice masses left on land? In fact, not many have given the consequences of these melting icecaps much thought at all. The truth is that most people believe the present rate of melting ice mass is a natural e...

You will see what is happening in the Arctic--there is much less "perennial" sea ice now and it is being replaced by short-lived sea ice. In the past 25 years much of the longer-lasting sea ice in the Arctic has melted. This includes ice that lasts for 2 to 5 years or even 6 years or more. Now there appears to be plenty of ice cover, but it is seasonal ice. The seasonal ice lasts for about a year. It increases in the winter and melts away by the end of summer, so it lasts 1 year or less. N... (read more) Author: Jason Witt

This breed descended from Arctic sled dogs and was purebred in an isolated area of Siberia for hundreds of years. An Eskimo Siberian Husky breeder selected the most attractive and brightest-eyed huskies for breeding. This may be why the Siberian Husky so closely resembles the wolf, even though it is no closer related to wolves than other dog breeds. These dogs, along with the Alaskan Malamute and Samoyed, are directly descended from the Eskimo dog and have been utilize... (read more) Author: Andrew Preston
