Thanks to this week’s snowfall, the glacier restoration project has gotten off to a good, if late start, but you know what they say about glaciers. Apparently however Syracuse is not the first community to imagine a future tied to cryotourism. We’ve discovered photographic evidence from the year 1900 that German communities have been planning for cryotourism for the last hundred years. While I’m not sure that I entirely agree with their decision to place children in such close proximity to the arctic wolves, I must agree that they have wisely chosen to avoid another Titanic mishap by utilizing exceptionally reliable, safe, and efficient dirigibles as their primary modes of transportation.

Just wanted to say, first, why do you get rid of the pictures in old blogs? Secondly, thought you might be interested in the chocolate-powered adventures that the cryo-tourism postcard was cleary depicting. German Chocolate (Hildebrande’s or otherwise) will carry you far…. http://ayrshiregeog.blogspot.com…o- timbuktu.html
In regards to the first: You mean the photos on the “blog archive” page right? I had intended to keep the pictures employed throughout the holiday season. However, we operate on something of a sandal strap budget around here, and so we were unable to offer holiday pay. As a result the pictures on the old blogs (always a somewhat radical and insular group) have gone on strike until we negotiate a new contract. The pictures are demanding holiday pay, better resolution and a greater share of the proceeds generated from online sales. We have tried to make clear to them that there are in fact no online sales, much less any revenue that might be gained from them. While we hope that we can reach agreement with the striking pictures soon, we will soon be replacing them with “user generated content.” Unfortunately, such a move is unlikely to be an effective strike breaking tactic until we acquire more than 5 users.
In regards to the second. It is true alternative fuel development will be an important aspect of creating a sustainable cryotourism, and recycled hot-chocolate seems well positioned to assume an important role in propelling non-rigid airships.
