The Thin Ice

The Ice Age The ice age has covered most of north America and has carved out numerous lakes. The glacier was a 100-foot high flow of ice and snow. Remnants of these large sheets of ice can still be seen today in the form of numerous lakes and the most brilliant of them are the Great Lakes. Other, larger ones, such as Lake Winnipeg, Reindeer, Athabaska, Great Slave, and Great Bear in Canada, existed at one time but have since drained off and have disappeared. Glaciers reached as far south

Eunice Lathem, 22, of Willow Bunch, Saskatchewan, passed away on the night of November 20th, 1955, after falling through thin ice at a skating party in her honour. Residents of the town came to celebrate the recent engagement of Lathem and her fiance, Nathan Singleton, on the cold, November night. The celebration was to be held at a nearby lake which appeared to be frozen over and suitable for skating. The party commenced at around 6:30 p.m. lasting several hours before many began to head home. At

The vast pile of the ice white snow feels almost like a quicksand around his black rubber boot. Foggy figures of people shovel the big piles of snow off the sidewalks. They scrape and pick at the glossy white ice which sticks to the sidewalk like a little boy clinging to his mother's side. His feet still sting as if he was stepping on pins

were disproved as tricks of the eye. Spacecraft in the 1960’s and 1970’s reported that Mars was very dry. However, spacecraft in the 1970’s to the 1990’s started to report evidence of water, either past or present. The atmosphere of Mars is very thin, only 1% of the Earth’s

Walking, or rather waddling, across the ice, the king penguin makes the journey to shore fatter than when he left. The penguin’s sudden weight gain becomes a problem, causing them to slip and fall forward. This strange occurrence only seems to happen to the obese penguins who’ve gained weight in order to endure weeks of fasting A study was done on these penguins to see if the fat penguins are less steady on their feet than the thin penguins before and after fasting. The theory was that the penguins

The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, is an extremely vital function to our society. The EPA makes laws and regulations for businesses and citizens to follow to make our world safer and to protect it for the future generations. Most educated people can agree that we do have a responsibility to do something about climate change and the difference we can make is through the EPA. Because of our free market companies will do anything they can to provide cheap goods and this usually comes at a

hunt hours ago, and yet still, the terrain seemed barren, devoid of a stable amount of prey to feed their clan. The she-cat shivered and paused for a moment to survey they area, her fellow clan-mates halted and watched her with weary appearances, each thin and poignant. PigeonEye ignored them, an unshattered defiance and determination to serve her clan burning within her. If they did not bring back food when they returned, why return anyway. She was willing to die for her clan, even if she would die

With all the dogs dropping like flies, they went to John Thornton. Thornton warned them about the thin, rotting ice ahead, but Charles wasn't having it. when it was time to leave, Buck wouldn't get up, so Hal repeatedly beat Buck. John thornton shoved Hal saying “If you strike that dog again, I'll kill you,” (Pg.71) After that Thornton tok Buck, and everyone else left to later fall in the thin ice Thornton warned them
