Not bad John. You not only got to see Alaska, but all that stuff was in my neighborhood as well. I don't know the people in the video though.

great tour...looks amazing at that time of year not at all what we tend to think...:thumbup:

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Two questions:
Is this real?
If so; what is the scientific explanation for it?
I've skipped a quarry-full of rocks in my day; NEVER heard anything like that... :dontknow:

[OJ UK]

Well Bob, the scientific explanation which explains the sound changing pitch is merely the Doppler effect.
The attendant echo is the sound reflecting from the ice and bouncing off the surrounding landscape....
Well...you did ask!! :roflblack:

WHAT DID HE SAY

:shocked: I don't know...
But his marvelous British intonations; made it sound plausible! :clap: :thumbup:

Don't know about the quarry sounds. The comments below the video were both pro and con. Have never tried skipping rocks over ice so cannot verify.

Well; what are you waiting for? :dontknow:
Go pick out a nice flat rock, and start limbering up! :D

It's a bit hard to get the wheelchair down to the lake or pond these days. :roflblack::roflblack::roflblack:

How about if we can get the "Meese", to tow you down there? :shocked: :D

A worthy idea. :2thumbs:

Maybe I could start a fad. Iron Dog and Iditarod better watch out. :roflblack::roflblack:

[Bob Denman]

Training thos Meese is gonna be tough...
Are there any "Meese-Traners" in Alaska, or do we need to look for Canadian talent? :dontknow: :D

Oh! If Meeses are hooked to what will be a "Moose-Sled"; do you call that, a "Mush of Meese"?

Oh, the possibilities. Now I am going to be kept awake all night like Cuzn. :yikes::yikes: :roflblack::roflblack:

You'll have to "Youtube" us, with some of the silliness from HIS back-yard! :roflblack:
