    Blimey, how far are they from the nearest settlement – I cannot find one. But I did find a dead moose!. Possibly.

    There seems to be alot of snowmobile activity around here, I can’t find anymore machines at present but this seems to be the snowmobile superhighway

    Julian, that is most definetly not a moose. It’s a hole in the ice.

    I hope they got away before I zoomed out – fastest global thawing ever seen, the wider views cover the place in summer!

    In fact, about the only thing nearby is the bit they missed. The Langoliers strike again…

    Or for more Langolier activity, this time Placemark: in San Fran’s Disco / Google Earth
