From: Tannywheeler I read a magazine article once that postulated the shift, during this century & next of the poles. If we want to see the NP, we should just wait--it'll be migrating past us soon. It's entertaining to look at snow from here in Central Texas in June. Makes me feel cooler.....Thanks. Tw |

20 Jun 06 - 09:42 AM (#1764603) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: Jerry Rasmussen I've been within a few hundred miles of the North pole. When I was in college I took a summer job as navigator on an ice station in the Arctic Ocean as part of several research projects that were being conducted jointly by Universities, and the Underwater Sound Laboratory in Groton, Connecticut. It was an amazing experience. The shots on the web cams look very familiar. They were definitely not filmen in Wehawken. Jerry |

20 Jun 06 - 09:45 AM (#1764606) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: catspaw49 I'm with Sins here. That could be completely bogus! How dare they try for the coveted prize of "Web's Most Boring and Ridiculous Webcam" with such a trifling and pissant effort? No. The position still belongs to those crazy folks at Crazy Horse who bring you live pictures of the minute by minute progress of a Rushmore style memorial now over 60 years in the making! I mean I get a boner from the fever pitch of excitement. Every now and then someone shows up in the parking lot and museum and its almost too much to take!!!! CHECK IT OUT WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..Doggies!!!! Ain't that just Injun's nutsack? Spaw |

20 Jun 06 - 01:39 PM (#1764810) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: GUEST,heric I pulled up into the driveway for that Crazy Horse monument about twenty five years ago. Guard at a gate wearing a bogus uniform somewhat like a park ranger's, but slightly comical. I looked forward and around me, and smelled something rotten going on. Did a U-ee (sp?) Glad I didn't end up on a camera. I think I'll go watch it for a while. Sounds like a rush. |

20 Jun 06 - 02:21 PM (#1764842) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: Kaleea the textbook north pole? See it? Yes--on film. go there, no. Don't want to have to buy all that gear, walk that far, endure the weather, etc. However, I have been to the North Pole where Santa lives. It's really in Colorado. I even sat on Santa's lap & he gave me a lollipop. I saw the toy factory & even the reindeer. Except that Rudolph just happened to be out in the fields that day & not with the others. Of course, that was about 45 years ago. No one could have convinced me that there was another north pole. Actually, I'm still not sure there is one. Santa is never in the photos or films or on that cam link, so how can it be the real north pole? |

From: open mike what do the northern light look like from there? where do yo look to see them? up? where is north from there? down? http://spaceweather.com/aurora/gallery.html HAPPY SOLSTICE: On June 21st, Earth's north pole will be tipped to the max (23.5o) toward the Sun. Astronomers call this "a solstice." It marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, and winter in the southern hemisphere. The seasons are changing: Happy Solstice! |

21 Jun 06 - 04:48 AM (#1765352) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: Liz the Squeak Checked out that Crazy Horse Webcam.. Either it's darkest night over there or someone pulled the plug. The North Pole one was the same but white, like someone had put a sheet of paper (with grease stain in one corner) in front of the lens. I'm beginning to think this webcam lark is a hoax.. I never see anything moving on them.. LTS |

From: GUEST,skipy I've seen the north pole many, many times and the south pole as well, I can see them both as I type, I don't know which is which, but if I hang this magnet on a piece of string I could find out. Skipy ( in a flux ). |

From: Mooh With enough global warming, we'll only see the water part of the poles when we drown in it, but then it won't be polar any more. Been far enough north to see snow in August, but haven't been past the tree line. Someday... Peace, Mooh. |

21 Jun 06 - 10:25 AM (#1765520) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: catspaw49 HEY LIZ.........You posted at 4:48 AM EDT which is the middle of the night all across the US pretty much. And then there is the fact that the Crazy Horse memorial is in South Dakota, a state where citizens are reminded to turn off the light when they leave. SD is truly West Bumfuck Nowhere but it has its fans as well. As far as the black screen goes, that's probably just about as entertaining as the webcam view.............. Spaw |

21 Jun 06 - 11:57 AM (#1765609) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: Little Hawk I have a look at the Crazy Horse webcam whenever I need a major rush and I think my heart is strong enough to take it. Wow, eh? After that, I find the North Pole a little low key in comparison, but it's okay if you like the color white a lot. |

22 Jun 06 - 04:15 AM (#1766269) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: GUEST, Topsie It's midsummer in the northern hemisphere, Liz, and midwinter in the southern hemisphere - 24-hour daylight at the north pole and 24-hour darkness at the south pole. |

22 Jun 06 - 06:14 AM (#1766355) Subject: RE: BS: Ever Wanted To See The North Pole? From: Liz the Squeak So do I assume that the camera isn't trained at the horizon then?

From: GUEST, Topsie For those in the UK with a radio to hand, BBC Radio 4 at 4.30 this afternoon, 'Material World', has a bit about the Earth's magnetic field and the possibility of it changing in the near future. I should think it will be available on 'Listen Again', for the rest of you. |
