The university of Alaska at Fairbanks has a beautiful campus and hosts a wonderful museum aptly named the Museum of the North.
Before you conjur up images of your typical museum, think again. This place is a must see. It's more visitor and information center and the native artwork on exhibit is amazing. Hey, they need something to do to while away those long winter nights when they're not craning their necks at the Aurora Borealis.
Students are the U of A at Fairbanks are known to boast how cold it gets by posing in their skimpies in front of the time and temperature sign. There are some very smart people at the University, some of them students, but I'm not so sure how smart it is to wander out in 50 below weather in my undies. So no need to worry about that picture from me. So if intelligence is a matter of degree (71 of them to be precise) I'm feeling pretty high on the mensa scale, albeit not as brave as the U of A students, by sharing what I think is the more appropriate image.
You could have least done something "cheeky", like get into your swimsuit, and claim the temp was a "cool 71F" :-)
