Meanwhile, back in the northern hemisphere

It's spring, and time for an expedition north of the rquator. Ben Saunders tipped me off to Project Hope(http://en.expedition-hope.org), a skiing trip from the North Pole to Ottawa to raise awareness of global warming and the melting of the ice caps.

Heading off onto the great frozen ocean. Drop off @ 90 Degrees North tonight. Sleeping at North Pole #expeditionhope pic.twitter.com/ok8O5Mh4gs
