ReplyDeleteHello Ruthie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this information about the Ice Bear Project. What a great way to get everyones attention to the global warming issue.
I lived in Alaska and was a bush school nurse and travel from Fairbanks to Prudoe Bay and I have such a great love for the wilderness. It would be such a tragedy to lose it and its precious wild life. Hugs Judy
