Evans Ice Stream

August 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Evans Ice Stream () is a large ice stream draining from Ellsworth Land, between Cape Zumberge and Fowler Ice Rise, into the western part of Ronne Ice Shelf. The feature was recorded on February 5, 1974 in Landsat imagery. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Stanley Evans, British physicist who, starting in 1961, developed apparatus for radio echo sounding of icecaps and glaciers from aircraft; he carried out upper atmosphere research at Brunt Ice Shelf, 1956-57.

Fishing lure

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

In terms of sport fishing, a lure is an object attached to the end of the fishing line and designed to resemble and move like an item of fish prey. Lures are equipped with one or more single,double, or treble hooks that are used to hook fish when they attack the lure. Motion is imparted to lures by winding line back on to a reel, by sweeping, jigging movements with a fishing rod, or by being pulled behind a moving boat (”trolling“). An exception is fly lures, commonly called “flies” by fishermen, which either float on the water surface, slowly sink or float underwater, and are based on real behavior of insect being resembled.

Lures are usually used on a fishing rod and fishing reel outfit. When a lure is used for casting, it is continually cast out and sometimes retrieved, the retrieve making the lure swim. A skilled fishermen can explore many possible hiding places for fish through lure casting.

There are many types of fishing lures:

  • jig
  • wobbler
  • surface lures
  • spoon lures
  • plugs (fishing)
  • fly lures
  • Texas Rigs
  • Mormyshka
  • Trout worms
  • Bass worms
  • Spinnerbait
  • Crankbait
  • Swimbait
  • Jerkbait
  • Carolina Rig

Blackfoot River (Montana)

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

The Blackfoot River, sometimes called the Big Blackfoot River to distinguish it from the Little Blackfoot River, begins in western Montana 10 miles northeast of the town of Lincoln, then flows westward until it enters the Clark Fork River 5 miles east of the city of Missoula at the town of Milltown.
The Blackfoot is renowned for its fly fishing and was the principle fishing location for the book and movie A River Runs Through It. The Blackfoot is a fast, cold river with many deep spots, making it prime habitat for several varieties of trout, and is excellent for canoeing and rafting with rapids up to category 3.

MT Highway 200 runs parallel to the Blackfoot River from McNamara to Milltown. The highway is subject to hazardous driving conditions in the winter, particularly black ice.

The canyon the river lies in and the valleys below were formed by what geologists refer to as Missoula Floods–the result of an enormous break of an ice jam, draining a gigantic lake.

Fishing fleet

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

A fishing fleet is an aggregate of commercial fishing vessels. The term may be used of all vessels operating out of a particular port, all vessels engaged in a particular type of fishing (as in the “tuna fishing fleet”), or all fishing vessels of a country or region.

Although fishing vessels are not formally organized as if they were a naval fleet, very often the constraints of time and weather are such that they must all leave or return together, thus creating at least the appearance of an organized body. Fishermen operating a particular type of vessel or in a particular port often belong to a local association which disseminates information and may be used to coordinate activities, such as how best to prevent overfishing in particular areas.

Ice blasting

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Ice blasting is the use of explosives to break up ice in rivers, greatly aiding navigation systems.
This is done during the spring when snow is melting and river ice is breaking up. There is always a chance that the ice flows could collide creating an ice jam creating a dam and blocking the river. The river, filled with melt water, will quickly flood and often cause damage nearby settlements. Thus in most northern areas governments quickly act to break up the ice jams before they can do much damage. This is most easily done with explosives. These explosives may be planted from the shore, or in some cases by helicopter. In the large rivers of the Siberia the Russian airforce is sometimes called in to bomb ice jams.

Some districts, where flooding is especially common, do preemptive ice blasting. The city of Ottawa, Canada, for instance, blasts the Rideau River each spring to break up the ice.

Ice blasting has a number of disadvantages. It is expensive and dangerous requiring highly skilled explosives experts. When blasting is occurring the public must be warned to keep their distance. The blasting has negative environmental consequences. Fish and other river creatures are inevitably killed and the river bottom is scarred.

Hand-line fishing

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

Handlining is one of the oldest forms of fishing and is still common. The method consists of a single fishing line with a weight and one or more lure-like hooks are attached. The line is jigged or moved up and down in a series of short movements, most often close to the sea floor. The motion attracts the fish, which are normally caught while trying to eat the lure but also as they move close to the jigged lure. The line is then hauled onboard and the fish removed. Handlining are most often used to catch groundfish and squid but also other species are sometimes caught, including pelagic zone species.

Ice stream

August 21st, 2008 · No Comments

An ice stream is a region of an ice sheet that moves significantly faster than the surrounding ice. Ice streams are significant features of the Antarctic where they account for 10% of the volume of the ice. They are up to 50 km wide and 2 km thick. They stretch for hundreds of kilometres and account for most of the ice leaving the ice sheet, and entering the ice shelf.

The speed of the ice in the ice stream can be 1,000 meters per year, an order of magnitude faster than the surrounding ice. The shear forces at the edge of the ice stream causes deformation and recrystallization of the ice from hard glacial ice to a softer and more brittle form. Crevasses form particularly around the shear margins.

The causes of ice streams vary, though most are associated with sub-ice water streams, which lubricate the ice flow. The type of bedrock also is significant. Soft, plastic sediments result in the fastest flow.

Wales National Ice Rink

August 20th, 2008 · No Comments

The Wales National Ice Rink was an ice rink in Cardiff, Wales. It was the former home of the Cardiff Devils ice hockey team. The WNIR was opened in 1986 and was demolished in September 2006. It hosted its final ice hockey game, an “End Of An Era” game featuring former Devils against the 2005/6 Devils, in April 2006 and closed to skaters for the last time in June.

A temporary ice rink has been constructed in the Cardiff Bay area of the city for use until a permanent facility is provided.
