...mini-kegs of Heineken, this isn't polar summer camp. The scientific work being done at NEEM is as hard as it is necessary. About a mile (1.6 km) outside the main camp, Danish scientists Steffen Bo Hansen and Sigfus Johann Johnsen drill holes 70 meters down. The ice beneath NEEM is more than a mile and a half (2.5 km) thick, the result of over 130,000 years of accumulated snow. Tiny air bubbles from the year the snow fell are trapped in layers of frost, and when the ice is brought back to the surface, scientists can analyze...
...white-ceilinged dome and brilliant electric lights, and opposite us two parallel escalators, thickly packed with Muscovites, rising from below. It seemed as though they were all looking at me! They kept coming in an endless ribbon from down there, from the depths of ignorance--on and on beneath the gleaming dome, reaching toward me for at least one word of truth--so why did I keep silent...
...FLOATING BRANCH It's hard not to escape into childhood fantasies of Wind in the Willows-style tree-trunk homes or hobbit odysseys when you're sitting beneath one of Jessica Bodner's creations. For this one, she drew inspiration from her obsessive gardening hobby to sculpt a branch light in forged steel (from $3,600). www.bodnerchandeliers.com...
...clouds above. But as our plane heads west toward the old American air base at Kangerlussuaq, puddles of blue glacial melt begin to appear - vast, unblinking eyes that reflect the sky back up. Then the whiteness is suddenly ruptured and the ice wrinkles and thins, revealing slashes of rock beneath the 2.9 million cubic km of ice. By the time the coast comes into sight, the ice sheet ends abruptly, leaving bare brown dirt and rock. Finally, as we descend to Kangerlussuaq, the green in Greenland is visible...
...Cason Thrash flew her Los Angeles decorator in and says she was so nervous about the arrangements that "by 6 p.m., I was looking for a cyanide capsule." This wasn't any old fund raiser: it was held for the Louvre, in the Louvre, in the vaulted Galerie Daru beneath the Winged Victory of Samothrace. There, seated at two long, mirrored tables and surrounded by 2,000-year-old statues of Roman Emperors, the guests dined on asparagus soufflé and veal noisettes before moving on to a charity auction and a Duran Duran concert held under the Louvre's landmark...
