Nenana Ice Classic Festival- Since 1917 the town of Nenana,
south of Fairbanks, marks the approach of spring with the Nenana Ice
Classic Festival. The sale of $2.50 tickets last year generated a
$303,000 prize jackpot, shared among 22 winners, who had predicted
the exact minute the ice would break up at a specific spot on the
Tanana River.

"The global average annual mass loss of more than half a metre (glacial) water equivalent during the decade of
1996 to 2005 represents twice the ice loss of the previous decade (1986–95)
and over four times the rate of the decade from 1976 to 1985."
