...South African entrepreneur named Mike Nunn, who was buying tanzanite from local miners, spotted an opportunity. He recalls drinking a beer on the hood of his Land Cruiser?the snow on "Kili" pink in the sun's glow?and studying the mining operations below. He had come from the Block D zone reserved for small-scale miners and was headed to Block B, a second area for locals, studded like D with a jumble of corrugated-iron roofs, holes and ladders marking each small claim.

...Harvard lightweight captain Nick Downing was also pleased. “It was really good to see some of the younger guys step up,” he said. “It’s representative of the hard work we’ve put in on land. The ice is still very thick, and we have six weeks until our first race, so we just want to keep doing what we’re doing.” Just missing the podium, Larsen-Strecker nevertheless had a standout performance with 06:58.8—particularly since...
