Warming in the Arctic has opened the way for the Crystal Serenityβs bold landmark trip.
The Crystal Serenity sets sail today from Seward, Alaska, marking the beginning of what may be a new chapter of Arctic tourism facilitated by climate change. Lots of questions may soon be answered by this voyage and those that follow, including how will increased shipping and tourism flow affect small indigenous communities in the Arctic region?

Can we please talk about how our history teacher sent a barbie to the smithsonian as proof of the presence of man two million years ago
pleas,e for the love of God read the whole letter, there are tears streamign down my face rn
Can we please talk about how your history teacher has done this sort of thing enough times that he has his own specimen shelf in the Smithsonian
βyours in scienceβ tho
βB. Clams donβt have teethβ is the part where I lost it.
@zozi-writes
The letter says:
βThank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeledΒ β211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull.β We have gien this specimen a careful and detailed examination and regret to inform you that we disagree with you theory that it representsΒ βconclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago.β Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be theΒ βMalibu Barbieβ. It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to itβs modern origin:
The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone.
The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-hominids.
The dentition patters evident on theΒ βskullβ is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with theΒ βravenous man-eating Pliocene clamsβ you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time.This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that:
A) The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on.
Clams donβt have teeth.
It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in itβs normal operation, and partly due to carbon datingβs notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results. Sadly , we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundationβs Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific nameΒ βAustralopithecus spiff-arino.β Speaking personally, I for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didnβt really sound like it might be Latin.
However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your back yard. We eagerly anticipate your trip to or nationβs capital that you proposed in you last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories surrounding theΒ βtrans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrixβ that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.
Yours in Science,
Harvey Rowe

@glumshoe
We give a lot of credit to whoever wrote this, but we can say with certainty that we havenβt been given any Barbie doll heads for our paleoanthropology department. (@amhistorymuseumβ does haveΒ plenty of Barbies, all with bodies too.)
But we have been offered some interesting things over the years. A few examples: a corn flake in the shape of Illinois, a two-legged dog, and the worldβs longest beard.
We took the beard.
Yours in science,

Yours in science! Extremely well played guys!
Jim Crow segregation meant that African American travelers couldnβt count on the typical parts of a road trip: filling the tank at a gas station, grabbing a bite at a restaurant, or staying the night in a motel. This book mapped out a safe route of accommodations, and came out every year from 1937 through 1964.
Its 1948 edition contained this quote from publishers Victor and Alma Green:
βThere will be a day sometime in the near future when this guide will not have to be published. That is when we as a race will have equal opportunities and privileges in the United States. It will be a great day for us to suspend this publication for then we can go wherever we please, and without embarrassment.β

"Exploration, India!" Coming Soon.
On Top of the World! On our 2nd day in Nepal, we took an Everest and Himalayas flight-seeing tour on Yeti Air out of #KTM airport. Successful sightings of Sagarmatha herself are rewarded with a glass of βchampionβ (champagne), a certificate, and the indelible memory of the view of a lifetime!
Trust us, if youβre going to Kathmandu, but youβre not going for trekking, this is very worth the price, the diesel-fumed airport wait, and the nailbiting βcan weβ or βcanβt weβ of seeing THE Everest with your own eyes.
We made it to the airport well before sunrise. After a brief two hour delay due to cloud cover, we sipped patiently on our steaming hot tea masala and made small talk with a few other hopeful passengers. Finally, it was time to load onto the runway transport and head to our small aircraft. After a short but important safety demo, we were bouncing down the runway in our Yeti Air twin turbo prop airplane. As the small plane lurches upward and onward, it takes you up through the fog and haze of the Kathmandu Valley, over the steppes of Shangri La, and alongside some the tallest peaks in the world including Cho Oyu, Lhotse, Manaslu, Makalu and of course, the Mother of sacred mountains herself. You are invited to view Everest from the pilot's cockpit where you can ask questions and actually pinpoint the 3rd Pole. Afterwards, on the return flight to the airport, you are treated to a glass of cold champagne to drink to your incredible fortune. Weβll definitely toast to that! This is a glamorous detour from the itinerary only the most intrepid Foggs and Passepartout dare take!
