An Arctic Adventure
I love the Web.
Today, I came across the news (see also here) that a fossil fish has been discovered that shows evidence of the migration of aquatic animals to life on land. The fossil was discovered on Ellesmere Island, part of the Canadian territory of Nunavut (formerly Northwest Territories). I learned from Wikipedia, that Ellesmere has the distinction of hosting the northernmost permanent settlement in the world, Alert.
Well, thanks to Google, I came across the home page of Kevin Anderson, who spent a year in Alert working for Environment Canada. Kevin documented his "Arctic Adventure" here. If you're interested in seeing what it's like to spend a year living at the top of the world, and you have a little time to kill, check out Kevin's site.
