Engabreen Glacier
The Engabreen glacier is the second largest glacier in Norway. It is a glacial tongue of the Svartisen glacier,which has steadily increased in mass since the 1960s when heavier winter precipitation set in. This site located at 66°42'9.26"N - 13°32'9.50"E.
You'll find an interesting radio programme about life in the glacier and listen to the sounds inside and hear about how the glacier moves up to 10 metres a year. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/nature_20060529.shtml
(Deirdre on that same side you will find another interesting programme "The sounds of the Galapagos")

Travel without Smoke
by cobi on Jul 09, 2007
Take a deep breath of fresh air - England has gone smoke free! It's great. No more throwing clothes in the laundry basket in disgust after an hour in the Darwin Bar because they stink. No more avoiding The Eagle for dinner because the air in the RAF bar is so thick you could stick a fork in it.
I'm very glad this has finally happened. It's been a long time coming! And pubs genuinely seem to be taking their new responsibilities seriously - I haven't seen someone smoking inside yet. Of course, the same can't be said for outside. If you walk down the pub-filled streets in Cambridge in the evening you'll be lucky not to get a cigarette burn, there are so many people huddled in doorways, cantankerously sucking on their ciggies. Okay - perhaps burns are an exaggeration - but it is hard to avoid the fumes around doorways. Even at Addenbrookes Hospital it's hard to dodge the trails of smoke at the entrance, despite the whole site supposedly being smoke free.
Still, it's a great start. I think England handled it well. Apparently it was planned for July 1st to coincide with summer, so people won't get so grumpy about getting turfed outside to indulge in their dirty habit. Of course, the rain rendered that plan a bit futile, but the ban's working nonetheless.
They've done a much better job of it than the poxy 'no smoking a metre from the bar' law in South Australia. Really... why bother? It's crap. You see people stretching their ciggie arm out (right into other people's faces) to get closer to the bar for a drink. Plus if the bar is in a skinny room the law doesn't even apply! How lame is that? It's pathetic.
I can't wait to see how the French go at banning smoking next February. The continental addiction is much more severe.
But stranger things have happened yet.

CAVEMAN TRAVEL
How far would you go to add a few more bedrooms? For one family in Moab, Utah, an expansion of their digs involved oodles of elbow grease - and two decades of actual digging.
About 60 years ago, dusty uranium miners outnumbered slickrock mountain bikers in these legendary red rock ridges, and Albert Christensen decided that the family homestead was a tad too small. With the help of his brothers, he bore into an imposing stone face and whittled out a swinging subterranean wonder-pad. Chiselling with hand tools and setting off dynamite, he hauled out massive cartloads of sandstone, creating more than a dozen pillared and spacious rooms called Hole N'' the Rock.
