Photo of the Week: Back in the Game

After a break from blogging to focus on teaching and traveling, it's time to start writing again.  There are several adventures to catch up on, so why not start with a picture taken from a jetliner to symbolize that I'm back in the game?

This week's photo was taken over Greenland a few weeks ago as we were flying into Iceland. Despite the brutally hot temperatures in the Midwest, Greenland remained...white.  As a social studies teacher, I'll use this picture to teach my students that Greenland is NOT green.  Rather, most is hidden under a vast ice shelf that stretches thousands of miles.  It was also taken at 3am local time---we were flying into the land of the midnight sun.
