...largest offshore energy operator. Five days later, Reiten hosted his country's King and Queen in Nyhamna, a third of the way up Norway's west coast, at the official launch of a record-breaking gas production and processing project forged by Hydro to harness gas from 120 km away under the Norwegian...
Take Ormen Lange, the name of the deep-sea field 75 miles (120 km) from Nyhamna. Hover over the sea above the enormous gas reservoir and you won't see a rig. Instead, the company overcame under-water peaks, subzero temperatures and powerful currents to build extraction installations directly on the seabed half a mile (1 km) below the surface. In a couple of hours extracted gas reaches the Nyhamna plant, where it's processed and sent to the U.K. via the world's longest underwater pipeline (it's a trip that can take as little as two days...
...fierce races to behold? This is the only street meet in the world that features both car races (including a Formula Three race and a World Touring Car Championship) as well as motorcycle events (among them the Macau Motorcycle Grand Prix). Drivers will be negotiating the 3.9-mile (6.2-km) Guia Circuit, which thankfully skirts the precarious old streets that date back to the Portuguese colonial era but nonetheless presents plenty of deceptive bends. It also tapers, at its narrowest point, to a mettle-testing 23 ft (7 m) across. While the final lineup is still being confirmed, if recent...
...months of winter darkness descend over the top of the world, temperatures are falling and the Arctic Ocean is again freezing. But the damage has been done. The National Snow and Ice Data Center reports that just 1.65 million sq. mi. (about 4.3 million sq km) of Arctic sea ice survived the summer's annual melt. That's the smallest amount left over after September since scientists began keeping records. And they estimate the Arctic ice may have shrunk by half since the 1950s. Worse, the melt is accelerating. The Arctic may be ice-free by the summer...
...results by hand. What if this product could do it for them? The result was nikeplus.com "The site puts you and your achievements at the heart of this," says Olander. About 500,000 runners from more than 160 countries have signed on, and some 30 million miles (48 million km) have been uploaded. The site graphs distances for each jog and can tell runners how fast they were going at each point along the way. A map function lets them view popular routes in their neighborhoods...
