If All Modern Gadget Running On Petrol

What if everything ran on gas? Then again, what if everything didn't? 

This one is a really smart ad, but for the fact that I never remember what it's advertising. Also, I really want a gas-powered handphone as it will solve the crappy battery problems.

Global Warming Effects On Greenland's Ice

Across Greenland's vast white landscape, small teams of researchers from around the world are searching for clues about the potential effects of global warming on Greenland's ice. They're measuring the movement of glaciers, the density of the snow pack, the thickness of the ice and more, trying to gauge how much will melt and when.

Greenland's Inuit people have been witness to the rapidly changing landscape. The Inuit have countless terms in their language to describe ice in all its varieties, and its disappearance directly affects their lives. 

Associated Press photographer Brennan Linsley recently spent some time on the massive Arctic island, documenting the researchers, the residents, and the varied ice that dominates the landscape.

Alaska Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station

A few months ago, Reuters photographer Lucas Jackson was invited to the 2011 Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station (APLIS), a temporary camp built out of plywood on Arctic sea ice. Far north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the camp housed a couple dozen members of the British, Canadian, and U.S. navies and employees of the Applied Physics Laboratory.

Jackson spent two days at the camp, watching its residents conduct tests on underwater and under-ice communications and sonar technologies. He kept his camera equipment warm and functional with chemical hand warmers whenever possible. 

Collected here are some chilly images from Jackson's trip to the far north last March.
