Cryotourism, 100 years too late

12.17.07 | 2 Comments

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.
