I was just thinking about this verry subject today .
Once when i was stationed in Iceland we went on this field trip ( Thanks LT Gellett!!!!!) to a glacher that ran down and into the artic ocean . Some body had smuggled a bottle of vodka on the bus , so some of us were WELL lubricated by the time we got there . We sat thru the presentation and slide show , then they let us stomp around on said glacher . Ye Haaaw , a big ass chunk of ice !!!! We drove 3 hours just to see ice ?!?!?!
Well there was this Killer slope with this cool little ramp that looked just perfect for slideing , and well 2-3 of us just HAD to give it a try .
BIG fun slideing and flying thru the air , the landing sucked however , did i mention that you landed in this pool of glacher runoff water , about the consistancy of a slurpy .
So there i was slideing down the ice , Flying thru the air , then SMACK into the glacher runoff slurry .
I climbed out and relized that I had no dry clothes to put on or any way to dry off !!!!!
That was the COLDEST I have EVER been in my life !!!!!
