		<description><![CDATA[On February 9th, I went downtown to see the start of the annual Yukon Quest dogsled race.  It&#8217;s a trek through a thousand miles of wilderness in the dead of the Arctic winter, from Fairbanks, Alaska to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory, Canada.

This polar bear ice sculpture is UAF&#8217;s greeter:


The extreme cold snaps in Fairbanks cover everything in a really pretty frosty layer.  It looks best up on the hill at UAF:


It&#8217;s not as photogenic downtown.  That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On November 10, 2007, after two months of mostly focusing on classes, I was itching to get out and remind myself that I really am in Alaska.  Not to offend polynomial regression, but there&#8217;s a level of satisfaction that comes from standing knee-deep in light, fluffy mountain snow that I just wasn&#8217;t getting sitting in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[February 20th, 2008, brought a lunar eclipse.  It was high in the sky for most of the lower 48, but here in Fairbanks the eclipse was already in full swing before the moon peeked over the eastern horizon.  I drove over to campus and shot these pictures.
The main part of campus:

I routinely check the UAF Aurora Forecast at night, and right around midnight as February 29th, 2008 rolled over into March, the forecast hit a level I haven&#8217;t seen it at before: HEAVY+.  I looked out my one tiny north-facing [...]]]></description>
