...what might be called the battle of the bottom dwellers—both came into the match with just one win in 12 games combined in-league—the Bears escaped once again last night, winning 4-1 after netting two empty net goals in the last 45 seconds of the game. Though Harvard outshot Brown 43-33, Bears goalie Michael Clemente kept the visitors in the game, denying the Crimson on several threatening shot attempts and extending the home team’s winless streak to nine games...
...sudden drop in Harvard’s endowment has brought our community to a crossroads.

But no humans actually set eyes on Antarctica until 1820. In a great race to the bottom of the world, ships from Russia, Britain and the U.S. all spotted the landmass within months of one another in 1820. The first explorer to discover Antarctica is widely believed to have been Russian explorer Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, whose expedition first spotted land in January 1820. But further interest...
...more and more are coming to visit: more than 45,000 tourists visited Antarctica during its most recent summer, and on average about 30,000 visitors flock to the frigid continent each year. Trips don't come cheap: a round-trip ticket - most likely by cruise ship - to the bottom of the earth can cost between $5,000 and $10,000. Nevertheless, at least five people have been born in Antarctica, the first being Argentinian Emilio Marcos Palma, whose mother, Silvia Morella de Palma, flew there to give birth in order to beat Chile in having the first Antarctica-born...
