Ellesmere Island - Good Ice Gone Bad
Recently the news media and a few environmentalist went crazy over a piece of some old crunchy ice cubes the size of a 11,000 football fields that had managed to set itself free. I mean free babe and so with everybody pointing the finger why, why, why...I set off to understand why on Earth would good ice want to escape.
And so I did. Yup... and guess what I discovered if you were as old as this ice...and at an average of 50F in the summer nobody would want your sorry ass hanging around either. Consider it a form of rejection, good ice gone bad...Rotten ice to the core (so to speak)...hmmm and from what I hear it's probably on it's way right now to rob a bank in Baghdad. (go for it CNN)

A Place for Christmas
Micronesia -FSM
1st photo - Pingelap Atoll. The old airfield (upper right) is just shy of 2,000 ft perfect for light aircraft. Pop. 870. Would you live here if you had a chance?
Next photo is Omoka. Interesting contrast between ocean. And yes, from what I hear some pretty big sharks too.
3rd photo is Christmas Island.

4th photo - Morkil Atoll has a huge pop. of 300 and dry land equates to about 0.48 sq miles, depending on the tides.

Micronesia Marshall Islands
Island of Ujae (click to enlarge)
What a beautiful place to live... The air field on the island (runs East/ West) was probably built during WW 11. If you look just to the right of the marker you can see what remains of the runway that runs roughly North/ South. Looking to the left of the marker is a small circular clearing, my guess it's probably what remains of the control tower. What's great about this island, if your a pilot with an aircraft, Cessna, Piper, etc. what a fantastic place to live, huh.
