Southern Hemisphere Glaciers

August 7, 2022 by Philip Sheldon

Rivers of Ice Glaciers are ice fields on mountain slopes that remain ice throughout the year. They appear to be stable, but they are continually following gravity down the mountain like a river of ice. On warmer days, the front of a glacier “calves” into the ocean or other bodies of water. In colder seasons, […]

Magical Gay Safari Experience

April 3, 2022 by Philip Sheldon

African leopard on the prowl

There’s something magical and mystical about a gay safari in Southern Africa. It offers one of those rare experiences where we humans are guests of nature, on their scale. The animals run free, following instincts honed by their species over the millennia. We humble visitors are dwarfed by the grandeur of the surroundings while in our protective vehicle or safari lodge. We can learn a lot about living in harmony with nature by observing the people whose ancestors have long co-existed with the animals.
