Antarctic glaciers (Schiarse, Polarforschung) have grown while Arctic have shrunk.

EDIT: Also, watching Las Vegas grow and Lake Mead shrink is very interesting.

Google Timelapse is pretty cool... You can watch how the earth changed in the last 32 years:

Watching places like Houston and DFW grow is interesting. Seeing the snow evaporate in Canada is not so cool.

Great. Looks like I won't be working much today...

Dubai and Three Gorges Dam in China. Pretty incredible.

I guess I would rather be on an island in the Great American Ocean than swimming in the middle of a big pond.

Do the two routes signify that it was uphill both ways?

And I'll be honest--I don't buy the "through two feet of snow" either.

Talking to dad today, I realized he actually did walk miles to get to school. About 7 miles each way. It was a nice walk though. It was fun to plot it while he described the path he took.

That's cool, and the commentary is funny. That info would be really cool if someone spruced it up with interactive graphics.

A cool series of maps that put time in perspective.
