Maybe that factors into the difference as well. As it is, it makes for an interesting photo.Tall Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130518604439054014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707525594638269782.post-79987917934869831462009-11-04T19:02:53.651-05:002009-11-04T19:02:53.651-05:00TG -- well, this IS near the outer edge of the pol...TG -- well, this IS near the outer edge of the polar ice cap, so maybe when you get closer to the Pole it looks more like something a team of sled dogs could navigate. And maybe you also encounter polar bears (not with little umbrella drinks, I hope).Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707525594638269782.post-76371988180626857422009-11-04T16:19:56.086-05:002009-11-04T16:19:56.086-05:00We do normally think of a polar ice cap as looking...We do normally think of a polar ice cap as looking more like <a href="http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/images/3_Polar_Bears.jpg" rel="nofollow">this</a> (sans submarine).<br /><br />Katie’s ice cap looks like it was a stormy sea suddenly flash frozen.

I thought it would be smooth, too. Let's hope that the polar bears manage to adapt as well as TG's did.
