The Day the world Quaked
On December 26th 2004 an area of the seabed off the coast of Sumatra, near Banda Aceh, Indonesia, rumbled and heaved to life, as along a 1000 km stretch of the bottom of the Indian Ocean the junction between the India and Burma’s tectonic Plates literally unjammed, allowing the India Plate to slide under the Burma Plate, this sudden release of pent up energy resulted in a massive quake, registering 9.0 on the scale, producing a shelf 6 meters high along the length of the tear along the sea bottom, this was no ordinary quake and no ordinary release of stress, it would continue a full 10 minutes before subsiding, alter the shape of the earth and leave thousands dead with the massive tsunami created by the movement of the seabed and the sea water that movement displaced. |

Why Ontario is quickly becoming a world class winter kiting destination
For about 3-4 months every winter, the fresh water lakes around Ontario consistently freeze. This usually happens in parallel with the ski resorts being open. If it's cold enough to make snow then it's cold enough for the lakes to freeze. The wind riding season usually starts mid to late December, sometimes even as early as late November and runs until the beginning of April. |
