...Sick Of The Heat? 40 Places Where You Can Cool Off
Jul 24th, 2012 at 4:00PM: Most people look for warm places to visit. I look for cold ones. I live near Washington, D.C., and by mid-July, I've had it with the suffocating heat and humidity. I've taken escape-the-heat trips almost every summer over the last five years to places like Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Quebec, Maine and the Pacific Northwest.
The lower the temperature the better as far as I'm concerned, especially ...Ultimate Dinosaurs Exhibit In Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto

May 31st, 2012 at 2:00PM:
Many people's winter vacation plans understandably revolve around sand and sun and colorful cocktails sporting tiny umbrellas. But summer in the states can be just as oppressive, whether you're battling sweat-inducing humidity, malodorous public transportation, or overzealous mosquitoes. So for those who want to skip the sunscreen (I know, I know, you're supposed to wear sunscreen all year ...Video Of The Day: Midnight Sun Shines In Iceland
May 7th, 2012 at 6:00PM:
The "midnight sun" is a natural phenomenon occurring north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle when the sun never fully sets and remains visible 24 hours a day.

Apr 20th, 2012 at 5:00AM:
I like this image of a cabin in the woods, despite its slight seasonal dissonance, because it resembles a scrapbook image. "This is Terry in front of that awesome cabin right before she spied a moose and freaked out," it could be annotated.

This moody and lush image was snapped by Flickr user mciccone640 in Ontario in March.

Mar 15th, 2012 at 10:00AM:
The Vikings were some of the best sailors of the Middle Ages. They sailed all over the Mediterranean, far up the rivers of Russia and across the north Atlantic to colonize Iceland and Greenland.
