I'll admit I had to look Diomede up [that sure doesn't look like it's 2½ miles away].

How on earth do 115 people survive winter in the middle of the Bering Strait? It's amazing. Nature truly abhors a vacuum.

Once, they were hunter/gatherers. Now, there are subsidized helos, etc.

Tax Bill Would Open Alaska Wildlife Refuge To Drilling


...SUAREZ (NPR): When environmentalists have joined the battle over ANWR, they've described this stretch of Alaska as unique, pristine and irreplaceable. Have they dropped their intense opposition or is it just less evident this time around?...





Translation: A bunch of rich, hypocritical, delusional, Lower 48, suburbanites and city-dwellers (99.99% of whom have never been anywhere near ANWR, 99.9% of whom couldn't find ANWR on a map— 100% of whom would not last more than five days in ANWR) who have spent decades imposing their crackpot ideas on Alaskans are finally being told to mind their own business.

A common misconception about winter north of the Arctic Circle is that there is pitch blackness for weeks or even months. This is not true. This image was captured from Utqiaġvik (Barrow) at solar noon today (Dec 20) when the sun was 4.7° below the horizon. With a little help from refraction and cold air, the sun gets pretty close to the horizon and provides several hours of usable twilight.
