Its curative properties know no bounds. After a long night of ...
Glacier's retreat evident in a lifetime's measure
BYLOT ISLAND, Nunavut - I had always considered global warming an alarming, but strangely abstract concept, until the phenomenon took on a human dimension here in the Canadian High Arctic. Known as one of the great breeding grounds of northern seabirds, much of this eastern island is covered with a tongue of ice that remains from the Wisconsin glaciation, which ...
