Greenland

Greenland Expedition: Where Ice Is Born
$24.95
I found this book about the adventures of Lonnie Dupre and John H. to be very inspiring and thrilling. Reading Lonnie's journal entries about their daily encounters with nature, the elements, and personal interaction was a keyhole into their mindset.The pictures were breathtaking and certainly enhanced the message Lonnie gave the reader. I would recommend this book to any active adventurer and/or armchair adventurer interested in the polar regions and dog sledding.

Globe Trekker: Iceland & Greenland
$19.95
This was originally a 1996 episode of "Lonely Planet". Some of the material in this DVD might seem a bit dated to those who have recently visited Iceland and/or Greenland. What should have been done was to make two complete episodes: one episode on Iceland and one episode on Greenland. After all, these are two very different worlds, and yet they are so close to each other! Iceland is very technologically modern and culturally sophisticated -- just like continental Western Europe. Greenland is still an enigma for most people. This gigantic island, whose surface is over 95% covered in glacial ice, is home to an ancient, fascinating, and hearty people with a long history of nomadic tradition and survival skills. I find both lands intriguing and would love to visit both of them!

Regarding Ian Wright: I have read many negative reviews about him from other episodes he has hosted. He is neither Rick Steves nor Burt Wolf, folks! Ian Wright is simply being himself -- a silly but fun-loving, young Englishman who loves to travel. He is adventurous, curious, and keen to try practically anything once, even if he looks rediculous doing it. He is much more lively and likable than that uptight Justine Shapiro! She is so deadpan serious, cranky, and whiney that she would be a miserable travelling companion! And what about Megan McCormick? Yes, I think she is cute -- however, at times she behaves like such a ditzy airhead!

And for that obnoxious, homophobic reviewer of the "Globe Trekker: Brazil" DVD -- Yes, Ian Wright IS gay! SO WHAT! BIG DEAL! GET OVER IT -- AND GET A LIFE!

I've been a Cracker fan since Keroseen Hat and when I saw them at this small hole in the wall club in Austin called Mohawk I became a huge fan. They were touring supporting this album and was so impressed with what I heard live I decided to buy this album from the show. This album is amazing and like the title of the review says it's the best album released in 2006(The Lemonheads self-titled album is a close second). Every song here is a winner. The first song is a cover song called Something You An't Got and a great version they do of it. Many favorites on here. Don't know if I could pick a favorite song. If you like classic Cracker (Cracker, Keroseen Hat, The Golden Age) you really need to give this album a listen. Definetley essential for the cd collection and see them when they play because they are incredible live. Standout songs for me Something You An't Got, Gimme One More Chance, The Riverside, Maggie, I Need Better Friends, Actualy the whole album is a masterpiece just buy it!
