After almost a month of enticing Canadians with the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Banana Mania Contest, Nintendo of Canada has finally unpeeled the closely guarded secret about the number of bananas found frozen
in a block of ice deep in the Canadian wilderness.

The experiments involved are a weirdly diverse bunch, including IceCube, a detector composed
of light sensors frozen
deep in the
ice of Antarctica (SN: 12/27/14, p. 27); Super-Kamiokande, which boasts a tank filled with 50,000 tons
of water stationed
in a mine
in Hida, Japan; and the Helium and Lead Observatory, or HALO — with the motto «astronomically patient» — made
of salvaged lead
blocks in a mine
in Sudbury, Canada.
All these items have multiple uses, and as you get
deeper into the game you'll find all sorts
of nifty secondary tactics, like using the
ice wand to freeze walls that can then reflect shots from the portal wand, or using the portal
block to redirect patrolling enemies
in the direction you want them to go.
The paper uses evidence and modeling to explain how the sun -
blocking impact from a 50 - year stretch
of unusually intense eruptions
of four tropical volcanoes caused sufficient cooling to produce a long - lasting shift
in the generation and migration
of Arctic Ocean sea
ice, with substantial consequences for the Northern Hemisphere climate that lasted centuries and left a
deep imprint on European history.
Just as another example, take a
block of ice at say -4 C. Put it
in a hole as
deep as you like over 20 meters depth.
Observations and numerical modeling reveal large fluctuations
in the ocean heat available
in the adjacent bay and enhanced sensitivity
of ice - shelf melting to water temperatures at intermediate depth, as a seabed ridge
blocks the
deepest and warmest waters from reaching the thickest
ice.
