Taking the most out of the best North American glacier getaways

Do you love to visit the top glacier getways in the world? What about those ones that you are able to see in the US too?

In order to help you understand that, you may read the following msnbc.com article and take your own conclusions:

Gazing upon the cliff and glacier-strewn east coast of Canada’s Baffin Island, Dr. Garth D. Jackson squints as he locates himself on the tattered map in his hand. He is standing on a cruise ship deck, and the map of Canada’s High Arctic — which Jackson, 79, helped research decades ago — flaps in the breeze. His memories of the island before him have faded somewhat over time, like the map's yellowing paper, but there are certain glaring changes to the landscape.

“Some of the glaciers have obviously receded,” said Jackson, an intermittent member of the Canadian Geological Survey from 1965 through 1994. “A lot of Baffin Island’s valley glaciers are still there, but they don’t come as close to the water. And they’re not as thick. Rocks poke through the middle of them, and it wasn’t like that before.”

Jackson retraced some of his decades-old footsteps by chartering an Adventure Canada cruise ship with his family and roughly 90 other passengers. They admired bowhead whales and polar bears from the ship’s deck, explored the many fjords of Baffin Island and made stops ashore to hike the tundra, look for wildlife and visit local communities. There are other trips, too, including one that crosses the fabled Northwest Passage and retraces the paths of some of the world’s most notable (and ill-fated) explorers.

The best ski resort restaurants for you to visit!

Do you love snow and the winter? Well, if that's the case, then you have tried some of the finest ski resorts in the world for sure! Still, have you ever tried their cuisine? This is exaclty what's being discussed on the article just below and which you are able to read in full detail on msnbc.com and which will give you a much clear idea of how impressed you will be when you try some of their food!

Apart from a bubbling hot tub with a champagne bucket chilling in the snow, few things can coax winter weary bones into another day on the mountain like a soul-warming feed.

In North America, ski food has long meant comfort food: steaming bowls of chili. Platters heaped with pasta meant to load you with carbs for the afternoon’s runs. And plates of messy nacho goodness enjoyed après-ski.

Over the past decade, however, ski towns across the country — from Killington to Lake Tahoe — have seen a food revolution with an eye on bringing classier fare to the slopes that’s evocative of the region while drawing on a European sense of refinement.

All that creativity in the kitchen is really upping the mountain-town ante. Forbes.com recently named Salt Lake City an up-and-coming culinary capital, putting the spotlight on the city’s local farmers and artisan cheese makers, bakers and chefs for “remaking the city’s culinary image.”

British Airways passenger jet collapsed

Just as it has been recently covered by all the Tv channels, more and more airlines are facing some difficulties in order to get over the current financial crisis and they often reduce the quality of their services in order to be able to overcome the situation. Still, sometimes things tend to go wrong and that's exaclty what happened in London today as you can read from the msnbc.com article below:

"

LONDON - The nosewheel of a British Airways passenger jet collapsed with a loud bang as the aircraft landed Friday at London City Airport, sending the plane scraping across the tarmac with 71 people aboard, officials and witnesses said.

All aboard escaped by emergency slides, but one person was taken to a hospital with a minor injury.

BA Flight 8456 was flying from Amsterdam to London when its front landing gear failed and the front wheel fell off.

"As a precaution the emergency slides were deployed and passengers were evacuated down the slides onto the runway," the airline said in a statement. "One passenger suffered a minor injury."

The airline said the Avro 146 RJ100 — made by BAE Systems — was carrying 67 passengers and four crew. London firefighters said accident happened around 8 p.m., and ambulance officials reported that four people were treated for minor injuries.

One of the passengers Ray Hamblin, said: "The front wheel collapsed, the cabin filled with smoke and everyone had to vacate from the rear of the plane. People were pretty calm at first but when the plane started to fill up with smoke, people were not moving fast enough and they got pretty fractious.

"

"As I came off the emergency slide I hit my wrist on the runway. I think there are a couple of people with cuts and scrapes."

Justin Fletcher, told the British Broadcasting Corp. that "there was obviously quite a loud bang as the plane scratched in. The stewards and stewardesses were quick to evacuate everyone off. There was a few scrapes and cuts due to hitting the asphalt. All in all everyone seems to be doing quite well now."
