From my perspective, the best thing about winter is snow. When it falls, this natural element covers everything in a white blanket, creating a sense of cleanliness, purity and quiet. Snow can also symbolize peace, like in the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost, one of my favorite poets.

When one daydreams about Iceland, the images that likely spring to mind are volcanic landscapes and vast glaciers—after all, this is the Land of Fire and Ice.

An arctic fox off the coast of Baffin Island has recently proved that wanderlust isn’t restricted to humans. Apparently, this little canid—and some others of her kind—has a propensity for it, too. In spring 2008, Canadian biologists fitted 29 arctic foxes with tracking collars and began monitoring their movements by satellite.
