Eiteljorg Museum Artifacts on display illustrate the artistic and cultural diversity of America's first peoples. Eiteljorg described his collection as a very personal one that grew not only out of his interest in the West, but also out of his love and respect for Native Americans and their cultures, which reflect a deep regard for nature. This sense of oneness with nature is embodied in the museum's extensive collection of Native American art, including pottery, basketry, clothing, bead and quill work, and weavings.

Out for a chilly afternoon walk. I told Ryan yesterday that I was refusing to step outside again until the temp and windchill combined had reached at least 15 degrees. We have been having terrible, bitter cold winds blowing from due north, for the last week. Today it warmed up to 19, and the wind died down, so we went for a walk. The path we were on is the one that we went for a walk in the evening after the first big parents-meeting-each-other-dinner, overlooking the Knik Arm. It's a little different scenery from that day.

Possible effects of retreating sea-ice cover on sub-Arctic and Arctic ecosystems

What is it about sea turtles? How are they able to move us so deeply, perhaps more than any other marine creature? Sea turtle are at once emblematic flagships for the oceans, and umbrella species whose conservation requires the preservation of intact habitats ranging from tropical nesting beaches to sub-Arctic foraging grounds.

To watch in HQ: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYL26Fb8cHs&fmt=18 Moose (Alces alces) is the North American name for the largest extant species in the deer family. The same animal is called the Elk in Europe. The name moose is derived from the Algonquian Eastern Abnaki name moz, meaning "he trims, shaves". Moose are distinguished by the palmate antlers of the males; other members of the family have antlers with a "twig-like" configuration. In North America, Elk refers to the second largest deer species, Cervus canadensis. Moose typically inhabit boreal and mixed deciduous forests of the Northern Hemisphere in temperate to subarctic climates. In North America, the Moose range includes almost all of Canada, most of central and western Alaska, much of New England and upstate New York, the upper Rocky Mountains, Northeastern Minnesota, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula and Isle Royale in Lake Superior. Isolated moose populations have been verified as far south as the mountains of Utah and Colorado. In 1978 a few breeding pairs were introduced in western Colorado, and the state's moose population is now more than 1,000. In Europe, Moose are found in large numbers throughout Norway, Sweden and Finland. They are also widespread through Russia. Moose were successfully introduced on the island of Newfoundland in 1904 where they are now the dominant ungulate, and somewhat less successfully on Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Ten moose were also introduced in Fiordland, New Zealand in 1910, but they were thought to have died off. Nevertheless, there have been reported sightings that were thought to be false until moose hair samples were found by a New Zealand scientist in 2002. In 2008 Moose (or Elk) were reintroduced in to the Scottish Highlands.

The sole purpose of Fort McMurray is to service and promote the worst environmental disaster on Earth. The sole effect of tar sands mining as planned - triple the current production by 2020 - will be to drive global warming into runaway global heating by massively melting the Arctic/subArctic permafrost, thus releasing huge quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas 20x-70x more potent than CO2, which can generate its own lethal feedback loop, which can raise the global temperature by 16 degrees F or more by 2100, which could doom 85%+ of Earth's species to mass extinction.

A close-up video of BoreoAtlantic Armhook Squid, Gonatus fabricii in the deep waters of the Canada Basin. This squid species is common in the sub-arctic waters of the Atlantic, where it can be sufficiently abundant to support commercial fisheries. In places where it is abundant this squid is a major predator, also serving as prey for many fishes and marine mammals. The squid may be an important component of the open-water food web of the high Arctic, but we know very little about its occurrence there.

The Beluga Whale or White Whale (Delphinapterus leucas) is an Arctic and sub-Arctic species of cetacean. It is one of two members of the family Monodontidae, along with the Narwhal. This marine mammal is commonly referred to simply as the Beluga or Sea Canary due to its high pitched squeaks. It is up to 5 metres in length and an unmistakable all white in color with a distinctive melon-shaped head. Taxonomy and evolution The Beluga was first described by Peter Simon Pallas in 1776. It is a member of the Monodontidae family, which is in turn part of the toothed whale suborder. The Irrawaddy dolphin was also once considered to be in the same family; however, recent genetic evidence suggests otherwise. The earliest known ancestor of the beluga is the prehistoric Denebola brachycephala from the late Miocene period. One single fossil has been found on the Baja California peninsula, indicating that the family once existed in warmer waters. The fossil record also indicates that in comparatively recent times the beluga's range has varied with that of the ice pack -- expanded during ice ages and contracting when the ice retreats. The Red List of Threatened Species gives both Beluga and White Whale as common names, though the former is now more popular. The English name comes from the Russian белуга (beluga) or белуха (belukha) which derives from the word белый (belyy), meaning "white". It is sometimes referred to by scientists as the Belukha Whale in order to avoid confusion with the Beluga sturgeon. The whale is also colloquially known as the Sea Canary on account of the high-pitched squeaks, squeals, clucks and whistles. ==Description== A Beluga Whale in the shallow waters of the Vancouver AquariumThis small whale can be up to 5 metres (16 ft) long, larger than all but the largest dolphins but smaller than most other toothed whales. Males are generally larger than the female - males can weigh 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) and females about 900 kg (one short ton). Newly-born belugas are about 1.5 m (5 ft) long and weigh 80 kilograms (176 lb).The baby beluga is usually born grey but not always. This whale is unmistakable when adult: it is all white and has a dorsal ridge rather than a fin. The head is also unlike that of any other cetacean - its melon is extremely bulbous and even malleable. The beluga is able to change the shape of its head by blowing air around its sinuses. Again unlike many dolphins and whales, the vertebrae in the neck are not fused together, allowing the animal flexibility to turn its head laterally. The belugas mouth is called the rostrum. The rostrum has about 8 to 10 teeth on each side of the jaw. The absence of the dorsal fin is reflected in the genus name of the species - apterus is the Greek word for "wingless". The evolutionary preference for a dorsal ridge in favour of a fin is believed by scientists to be adaptation to under-ice conditions, or possibly as a way of preserving heat. Like in other cetaceans the thyroid gland is relatively large compared to terrestrial mammals (three times per weight as a horse) and may help to sustain higher metabolism during the summer estuarine occupations. The body of the Beluga is rotund, particularly when well-fed, and tapers smoothly to both the head and tail. The tail fin grows and becomes increasingly ornately curved as the animal ages. The flippers are broad and short - making them almost square-shaped. Males become sexually mature at eight years, females at five. Seasonally polyestrus females give birth to a single calf in the spring after a gestation period of fifteen months with ranges found from 14.5 in the wild to 15-17 months in captivity. Young Belugas are uniformly dark grey in colour. The grey steadily lightens as they grow up - reaching their distinctive pure white colour by the age of seven in females and nine in males. The nursing period is about two years in length. The mating process is not properly understood. Testosterone levels in males have been found to be lowest in September and then rose to be highest in march with peak sperm production thought to occur perhaps in May or June if their physiology mimics other mammals. Mating certainly does occur during the winter or early spring, when the animals are still in their winter grounds or have begun their migration. However, mating occurs at other times, leaving open the possibility of delayed implantation.[citation needed] Belugas can live for up to fifty years.[1] Females in captivity have been found to conceive as old as 20 years. Beluga whales have a life expectancy of 25-30 years.

Canadian indie singer-songwriter Allison Crowe performed this song at the 'John Lennon Northern Lights Festival' in Durness, Scotland (September 28 - 30, 2007). Yukon-based David Cartier, Sr. shares his beautiful images of the Aurora Borealis on flickr @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/dcartiersr/sets/72157594420812359/ Here's what David says about this source of inspiration: " When Men lack a sense of awe, There will be disaster " - - - - Lao Tzu --- The Tao Teh Ching Awe is what THIS is all about!! The Aurora is an experience of breathtaking beauty... the viewing makes you feel like you are connected integrally with an amazing cosmic force ..... Aurora watching is as addictive as any drug and a whole lot more satisfying. Once you become addicted, you stay out all night, lose sleep, forget about social commitments, nearly get wind burned and frostbit and it's all, deeply, worth it !! Every human being who can manage it should make a pilgrimage to the subarctic auroral zone in order to see and feel this at least once in their life. Many of these were taken with an amazing old Russian Kiev-19 35mm SLR. This camera , which I still use for night sky photos, NEVER freezes up or has any shutter problems in the cold, even at minus 60!! The more expensive Japanese and German cameras which I own always, or at least often, stop functioning in the deep cold. "Northern Lights", the song, is now heard on Allison Crowe's "Little Lights" album.
