Freezing rain sounds innocent enough, until it becomes a layer of ice, enveloping every single thing in a heavy, unwelcome embrace.
Alaska, Dogsleds and Humans
Dogsleds are in the news lately, as several races have recently taken place around the Northern Hemisphere, and as transportation choices for both a meeting of the G-7 and the start of the 2010 U.S. census. Mushers brought representatives to Iqaluit, a small village in Nunavut Territory, chosen to host a recent G-7 meeting, in part so Canada could assert sovereignty over its part of the Arctic. The 2010 U.S. Census, as per tradition, kicked off its count on January 25th in a rural part of Alaska in the small village of Noorvik, as census takers arrived by dogsled. And recent dogsled races include Le Grand Odyssee, the Sedivackuv Long, Pirena, the Aviemore Husky Sled Dog Rally and many more smaller regional competitions. Collected here are a handful of recent photos of sleds, dogs, and their humans.

Thunderstorm vs Inferno
Snapped photos of lightning, swirling black smoke and spewing lava at Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull Volcano on Friday night from a helicopter hovering only a third of a mile above the fiery black cauldron. The mouth of the volcano is shrouded in clouds, as ash and fire spews out to the southeast in a 30,000-foot-high plume heading toward Europe.
Though the volcano is a 2,000-degree inferno, the temperature outside the copter was a chilly 14 degrees. Adding to the eruptions’ ferocity is the volcano’s location beneath a glacial ice cap. The molten rock and snow are mixing, leading to explosions of steam.
