chill

 

All my chill images should have

provided us with a chilling experience…

 

…unfortunately, the opposite was true.

Although it was snowing on

Canada’s Athabasca Glacier in Alberta, 

moving around kept us warm.

 

Even our visit to

Alaska’s Mendenhall Glacier

was undertaken in bright sunshine.

I must confess wearing more than

a cotton shirt on the

glacier visits though.

shiver

shake slightly and uncontrollably

as a result of being cold,

frightened, or excited

~~~~~

A few minutes in the Forty Below chamber

and most of us were of the opinion

that it was not as cold as expected.

I daresay a few minutes more,

would have produced an outbreak

of the shivers though.

nourish

provide with the food or other substances necessary
for growth, health, and good condition

I’m sure Labradors believe…

 

…that other than sleep…

…they should have plenty of nourishment…

…between dawn and dusk.

It had to be near, or below, zero to freezing

to form a horizontal icicle.

While we were only inside for a few minutes,

the forty below room did not feel that cold.

While the signed maintained it was 40 below,

the temperature reading was only

a little over 20 degrees below.
