| North China, Introduction (May, 2007) |

This was the first part of our trip and
this absolutely fascinated me. To fly from Chicago to Beijing, a
casual observer would guess there’d be a lot of time spent looking
down on the Pacific Ocean. However, the quickest and best route is
to fly up over the top of the earth, right past the North Pole. As a result
views of the Arctic Ocean dominated the views during the flight.
It was late May so the large cracks
are a normal part of the ocean and the “pack ice” that covers it. |
