Grin and bear it, America. Hyder, Alaska.

@msleen1970 @NBA Shame on the @NBA for putting Tuesday and Thursday games this week in @ESPN.

Shame on you @NBA for having a game seven on Amazon Prime. That game should’ve been on NBC, ABC/ESPN. I know the only thing y’all give a damn about is money. But all this is doing is disenfranchising the viewers.

@CBSEveningNews @JonVigliotti National reporting always makes Phoenix and Los Angeles the bad guys, but Denver and Salt Lake City are guilty too.

More than 40 million people rely on the Colorado River for water and many in the West take it for granted. But the Colorado River is on the brink of disaster and those who rely on it could face new restrictions as the river continues to shrink. CBS News’ @JonVigliotti has more.

@EverestToday Hillary, Houston, Molenaar, Messner, Scott, J&L Whittaker, Hornbein, Roskelley, Viesturs.

Who is the most famous mountaineer you have ever spoken to?

@theepicmap @Grok. What city is in the photo here?

Which country is the most different from its popular stereotype?

@YellowstoneNPS I watched two brown bears yesterday at Hyder, Alaska (from a designated viewing platform). When they stepped two feet into the forest, I could no longer see them even though I knew they were there. (Photo 4 has the cub.)

(Heads Up!) Solo hiker injured by bear on Sept. 16 in Yellowstone. Be bear aware to help avoid surprise bear encounters! Read more at: go.nps.gov/250916 Photo: Aerial view of Turbid Lake

@amazingmap I did not see La Plata, but the flat landscape there made Buenos Aires itself boring and forgettable when walking around.

Satellite view of La Plata, Argentina The capital of Buenos Aires Province, it is home to around 800,000 people and was founded in 1882 as a planned city with a distinctive grid and diagonal avenue design that is clearly visible from above.

@NWSFairbanks Should be on the Dempster Highway in Yukon/NWT instead (yesterday and today). #FallColor

The western Brooks Range becomes active tonight through Thursday night. Snow totals up to 3" and ice accumulations up to 1/4" are possible. The Winter Storm Warning along the Dalton persists through tomorrow AM. The Winter Weather Advisory persists through tomorrow PM. #akwx

@ExploreFall The Dempster Highway either side of the Yukon-Northwest Territories is bonkers right now. #FallColor

The first signs of fall are showing in the Southeast! These isolated pockets of color always turn much earlier than the lower elevations. Peak color will emerge in Graveyard Fields in five weeks time. 🍁

@ExploreFall Alaska's Brooks Range can be beautiful without fall color (from Galbraith campground, North Slope, July 16-18).

Pockets of PEAK tundra color are now appearing in northern Siberia. The Brooks Range of Alaska is a few days behind, but they'll be the first U.S. location to reach peak color by midweek.

@ExploreFall No fall color on Mount Logan, Canada's highest mountain, in June.😎

@ExploreFall Tuktoyuktuk, NWT, Canada, is a ways off (photo today, 10 miles south of Arctic Ocean), but I suspect higher elevations on the Dempster Highway to be peak as I drive south.

@amazingmap Like when they built Navajo Bridge in 1920s over Colorado River near Page AZ and the ferry went out. Sending a hammer from one side to the other was 800 miles one way through Needles CA, nearest other bridge.

Kanawyers and Independence are 20 miles apart, but the road trip takes 300 miles and six hours

@Interior Red fox two days ago above the Arctic Circle in Northwest Territories, outside your jurisdiction.

Born in spring, red fox kits are a lively sight on our public lands. As they grow, they venture out of their dens, pouncing, playing, and practicing the skills they’ll need to survive, like hunting and foraging.

@crockpics Americans did it way cooler back about then.

@OJoelsen Read about Lituya Bay, Alaska. Wave was 1,719 feet high, in 1958. #fpstate=ive&vld=cid:cb39aeef,vid:eLGb2pzuBds,st:0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">google.com/gasearch?q=lit…

On June 17, 2017, a massive landslide in Karrat Fjord, northwestern Greenland 🇬🇱triggered a powerful tsunami. Around 50 million cubic meters of rock fell from a mountain near Ummiammakku, crashing into the fjord from 1,000 meters above sea level. The resulting wave reached up to 90 meters near the impact site and caused severe damage in the village of Nuugaatsiaq, about 30 km away. Four people died, (couple with their child and an elderly man sadly lost their lives) and eleven homes were destroyed. The persons in the video survived. The tsunami traveled about 30km down the fjord, reaching the settlement of Nuugaatsiaq, where the wave was 1–1.5 meters high on the water but caused a run-up of around 9 meters on land. Due to the ongoing risk of further landslides and tsunamis, both Nuugaatsiaq and the nearby village Illorsuit were permanently abandoned.

@AP Were there any witnesses?

@cityaestheticss This is my idea of a livable city.

If you think San Fransisco has reached its final form… you are wrong. Cities are not museums and must evolve over time or wither away. SF needs to get over itself and start green lighting new denser housing across the entire city.

@Interior @DenaliNPS On Alaska's North Slope, too!

Mid-July in @DenaliNPS means fireweed season is in full swing! These brilliant blooms light up the landscape, adding a splash of vibrant pink and purple to Alaska’s summer scenery. Here’s to a bright and beautiful weekend! 💜

@ianbremmer Now here's a map of where I drank Coke in the last 30 years.

a map of the utmost geopolitical importance: where in the world cane sugar is used in coca cola
