Amazing Striped Icebergs
Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by
layers of snow that react to different conditions.
fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can
freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a
green stripe.
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up
when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.
Antarctica Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing!
The water froze the instant the wave broke through the
ice. That's what it is like in Antarctica where it is the
coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant
it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the
water is already some degrees below freezing..
Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!
Having the Internet means that we get to see something
that we never imagined! Pass it on for others to enjoy!

Dubai - Largest Fountain in the World!
Emaar water spectacle
Emaar Properties said on Monday it plans to build one of the largest fountains in the world as the centrepiece of its Downtown Burj Dubai project. Arabian Business reveals what the real estate giant has in store
The fountains, which has yet to be named, will be capable of shooting water over 150 metres into the air - the height of a 50-storey building - and stretch over 275 metres - the length of two football fields.
The $218 million project will be 25 percent larger than the iconic fountains at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas.
Like the Fountains of Bellagio, Emaar's fountains will include an integral light and sound show and is expected to become one of Dubai's major tourist attractions, drawing over 10 million visitors per year.
The fountains will shoot 22,000 gallons of water in the air at any given moment and feature over 6,600 lights and 50 colour projectors.
The fountains have yet to be named and a cash prize of $27,225 has been assigned to the winner of a competition to name the water feature.
The structure is scheduled to be operational by 2009.

Remove Bad Smells in Your Fridge
Do you smell something awful lately from your fridge?
I found an article on the web that teaches us on how to remove those odors.
Hope this will help you guys in removing odors from your fridge
- Remove all the items from your fridge. As you go, discard any overdue food that is developing into a science project.
- Place any food you choose to keep in a cooler while you work. Add ice if it will be out for some time.
- Clean all the shelves and drawers with soap and water. Don't forget to wipe as much of the walls and floor of the fridge as you can, even under the crisper drawers.
- If the smell persists, buy some freshly ground coffee.
- Dump 1 to 2 cups of the coffee grounds on a large plate and spread them around. Use multiple plates if the smells are extreme.
- Place the plate on the center shelf.
- Close the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours.
- Dispose of the coffee grounds and replace the food.
- Buy Baking Soda at your local grocery store.
- Either slice off the top of the Baking Soda box or pour baking soda in plastic container.
- Put the baking soda in your fridge, uncovered.
- Smell your fridge about 3 days later.
- Remove the baking soda and throw it away if it has cleared the smell.

Shortest International Bridge
It is located at Zavikon Island. On the left side it belongs to Canada, while the other side belongs to USA.
The Zavikon Island refers to a pair of islands in the Thousand Islands archipelago on the St. Lawrence River between New York and Ontario, near Rockport, Ontario. The Zavikon Island is located in the Canadian territory and belongs to the Leeds and Grenville municipal unit.
A popular tale among local guides is that the bigger part of Zavikon is in Canada, while the smaller part is in the United States, and the foot bridge between them is the "shortest international bridge in the world". However, this is not true as both islands are Canadian Territory.
In 1985, the islands hosted the first Zavikon Conference organized by the Dräger Foundation.
