Barrow, Alaska

This is a link to the Barrow , Alaska webcam and data on sea ice project. http://www.gi.alaska.edu/BRWICE/

It is the Northernmost edge of Alaska. Since Alaskan mushers are becoming aware of the effects of global warming on dog training, it might be interesting to read the data from the Barrow project. Where they once could start training in August in Fairbanks, they're now having to wait until cooler temperatures. We'll see how this year fares.

The 90's are predicted, again, here this week. The dogs all have tarped pens, clean wading pools and water refills often, but they are restless. Their hole diggings are getting deeper.
