Drilling in the arctic
By Zimmermann - Posted on June 25th, 2008
The idea has been toyed with for years, drilling in the arctic. Land that has been set aside for over 40 years, has recently reemerged for the long lasting debate of whether or not drilling in the arctic will solve our soaring gas prices. Drilling in the arctic would create up to 330,000 jobs, but at the same it would be destroying an already delicate ecosystem. Read More »

Well the big one hit the other day. A massive avalance tore through Alaska's capital city Juneau, or just outside of it I should say. The damage is done though.

By Katwiz - Posted on March 2nd, 2008
Hello, everyone! For those of you who haven't heard of ANWR, it's the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Located up in Alaska, the Refuge is a very large reservation with a very beautiful and biologically diverse landscape that is home to hundreds upon hundreds of endangered arctic species that the Alaskans are trying to save. ANWR also happens to be the topic of an essay I am doing as of late, and so I thought I would spread the issues out here for people to read and respond to. Read More »

They hone incredible hunting and fishing skills and depend on marine life to support their alimentary needs. We might relax in front of our televisions with a microwaveable factory-made dinner, while arctic natives catch seal, whales, caribou, and walrus for their meals. Read More »
