If you're drinking outside with ambient below 30°F, and the vodka or whisky comes from the freezer, the ice should last indefinitely, but it prolly won't due to fucking chemistry.

A trifecta.

Life on the floodplain....

At least, it washes the dog shit out of the village.

I was there right when the snow was melting. Not the time to go.

Hmmm, it is better to be infested with stoats or mice?

Alaska has opened a hunting season for musk oxen stranded on ice floes off the western mainland - no hunting license or permit required.

RIP Urban Rahoi.

Rahoi, to be clear, did not die of Covid, but just faded away at 102.

He flew B-17s over Germany in WW2 and was Alaska big game guide license: #1.

Iceland has volcanoes?

So what's the strategy for hunting musk ox trapped on an ice floe? And once you're successful, how do you get him back to land?

Curious minds want to know.

They're marooned and will die out on the ice. Might as well eat 'em.
