This is perhaps the most outrageous thing I've ever captured. A moonbow (rainbow made from moonlight rather than sunlight), with snow (rather than rain) with the northern lights behind it. A Polar Lunar Snowbow?

Defense Department spent $34.8 million on sleeping bags for the far north

only to have soliders report they only provide warmth "in late spring to early fall"
"while men are nearly 18 percent faster than women in 5K races, they are only 11 percent faster in marathons, 3.7 percent faster at 50 miles, roughly even as they approach 100 miles, and then women routinely outpace men at races 195 miles and up" https://t.co/oTtbFWfsUa
🎭 From Darwin to Nietzsche, great minds have long recognized the link between movement and creativity. Now, science backs it up: brief bouts of aerobic exercise can spark novel ideas and connections. 🧗🌈

June 22nd, 2022 in the Ansel Adams Wilderness… just 9 miles the way the crow flies from my front door. I’ll literally remember this day for the rest of my life.
Merijn Geerts and Ivo Steyaert had passed the 90-hour record, and by lap 102, the pair shared a hug and decided to call it a day — or about four days, to be more accurate.
They share a new backyard ultra record, covering over 420 miles in 101 hours.

En el 2012 Kilian Jornet ganó Ultra Pirineu con 24 años. Ayer lo hizo Miguel Heras con 47, casi el doble de edad. Hablamos de una horquilla de prácticamente 25 años, algo impensable en cualquier otro deporte del mundo. Es apasionante. #trailrunning

Whoa, just catching up on Apple’s foray into satellite communication. They really went all in. This is a game changer. And combined with the new watch ultra they appear to be commuted to supporting wilderness adventures.
