Life is fragile: it thrives only in a narrow range of temperatures between freezing and boiling. How lucky that our planet is just the right distance from the sun: a little farther, and the death of the perpetual Antarctic winter – or worse – would prevail; a little closer, and the surface would truly fry anything that touched it. Leonard Susskind
Every now and again, well actually, more often than not, in winter in order to be able to get the miles in you have to venture into subzero temperatures. The exciting thing is that when you acclimatize you can take in the beauty around you and enjoy the scenery. I imagine that these frozen rivers will stay this way until the spring thaw, but they do help to take your mind off how cold it actually is!! Our earth is just the perfect balance of hot and cold, summer and winter, always preparing for the next season while taking your breath away in the present.
