Here's a great article on it:

I think California also protects sea lions which are about as plentiful as anything on God's green earth.

I've got a really nice Nokona baseball glove made of kangaroo hide. Love it.

offtopic:

Russian people have tens of years of Polar explorations history. Something like fifty-sixty years ago they didn’t have the machines and planes like now but still some spent all year round on the Northern pole on the drifting ice platforms, because at the Northern Pole there is no land surface to build a stationary places like they do at Southern.

Many of those people already passed away. None of such situations are possible now - with lack of electricity, power supplies etc to stay at the Northernmost point of the Earth for 300+ days and don’t loose spirit.

These photos truly inspire.

So how was that? By the way have you noticed that Willis-looking GAZ car? They were much proud of it as the first passenger car ever been on the North pole.

Thats some cool old photos cigarros!!

Am I the only one wondering how far that bear had to travel in order to recyle the PLASTC bread bags?

Couldn't they just throw the bread instead of polluting the bears' environment??

The Soviet Union made a great contribution to exploring different regions, some of them were absolutely deserted, others were very dangerous or their maintenance in a normal state was a crucial thing and some of them were totally out-of-reach. And North Pole is not an exception. For the first time ever, the idea of floating on the huge ice-box, which spit off from the main arctic ice body, and exploring different nature phenomena along with making calculations of what had to be the default nature conditions was put forward by Norwegian arctic research worker Fridtjof Nansen (the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1922) and then taken up by many Russian scientists.

Every Soviet and now Russian drifting station is named “North Pole.” They differentiate between each other only because of the numbers given. Yearly every NP station carries out a line of complex explorations and there is an average number of such investigations:

600-650 of plumbing investigations, 3500-3900 meteorological observations, 600-650 pilot balloons releases which carrying radio sounders and 1200-1300 temperature measurements and sea water sampling for chemical analysis.

Modern drifting station looks like a small settlement with lots of houses and tents built for polar explorers and for the storage of their outfit. Usually the new station starts working in April, nearby North Pole, and then finishes its toil near Greenlandic strait. Nobody knows how much time it will going to take since no one can forecast the speed of wind which affects the speed of glacier itself. Average numbers of men working at the single station is 15, but over the history of all the stations more than 800 people managed to visit them.

First one was opened long long ago, in 1937 and it was named NP-1. The last one, NP-36, was opened back in 2008 and works so far. Today I will show you a thumping good collection of photos which you will surely enjoy.

Arctic job is a hard job.

Especially in Russia. This is photos of the atomic ships going to Northern pole and nearby regions.

Great pics, thanks!

I won't ***** about how cold Chicago winters get any more!

Wow what a thread. I never would have guessed that polar bears eating bread could cause all this stink? LOL! I thought bears were always hungry and would eat damn near anything?????

I did enjoy Warrens posts and applaud his cynicism of modern science.

And that's all I got to say about that. From the greatest mind of this century, Forrest Gump.

Since getting from here to there will meet considerable resistance,

it is first necessary to soften up the population, especially in the "free" world.

This is best accomplished by the spreading of fear.

Once adequately terrified, people are easily manipulated,

and will abandon their freedoms for the comfort of their leader/savior.

It has happened before, and can happen again.

- Bin Laden is coming!!!

- The Pandemic will kill everyone!! Rush to get vaccinated!!!

- Financial Panic!!! Forget about unions, decent wages and working conditions!

- The Enemy out there/among us must be destroyed, before they get us!!!

- "Global Warming" will fry/freeze/drown us unless we transfer massive wealth to third-world dictators!!!

(though how this would even begin to solve the "problem" beats me!),

and we must drastically lower our standard of living so that the angry gods of warming may spare us!!!

It is all our fault!!! We must repent, and pay for our sins!!!

Ahhh how much this sounds like what the IMF and Fed Reserve Bank do aswell, manipulate by spreading unjust fear throughout the markets..

When it comes down to it, everything is about money.. Even the climate change & polar bears. The problem is that this fact will never change, man is always going to want more and do anything possible to fulfill such greed.

Those are great pics. The Russians' have an incredible fleet of nuclear icebreaker ships. Awesome! If they could just get their "R's" right!!!

Thanks for sharing.

Thx gents! Hope you're find nice picks and got fine emotion!

WHAT'S WЯONG WITH THE Я'S???

ok "Polar Bears Prefer Bread" didn’t excite me until i saw 64 ish posts on the topic. (alas here i am) now lets get this sucker on topic.

if Polar bears can eat bread (trained to do so "somewhat" ) i bet they can be Trained to smoke fine Cuban Cigars, just light up some double Coronas and throw it down and watch them smoke away. (maybe some single Malt with it)

from a marketing perspective Habanos SA should produce some "RE's for Alaska" i am sure these will catch on for the bears in Alaska and around the Globe for that matter (fascinating to see what flavor profile they will look to blend) .

ROB take that to Cuba as a suggestion

:P :P

The bears probably prefer the Punch Northern Lights.
