...sson, who's also a geologist, is convinced the dam project is environmentally unsound. Pointing to the planned relocation of a glacial waterfall and the damming of sediment-carrying glacial rivers, he warns that "a huge plateau of silt" will eventually form around the large dam that, together with dust from normal soil erosion, could be blown into storms by the heavy winds that sweep Iceland. These dust storms, in turn, could damage the vegetation that the reindeer depend on for survival. "We are concerned about early summer winds, erosion and dust storms" taking their toll on the land, Sigf...

...recording their stories. Her university's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology will mount an exhibition, "Track of the Rainbow Serpent," in October, and Sanday is currently finishing a book about the crater. Her late father's find was extraordinarily rare. Although an estimated 3,000 metric tons of meteoric dust falls to Earth each year, only about 100 meteorites of any substance make it through the atmosphere. Typically, only five of these will be made of iron and therefore "less prone to break up," says Alex Bevan, Curator of Mineralogy and Meteoritics at the Western Australian Museum. More than half...
...AuctionDrop. As long as the product weighs less than 25 lbs. and has an eBay value of at least $75, the middleman will handle everything from pricing to shipping. AuctionDrop's commission is up to 38%, which may sound steep, but the deal's still more profitable than collecting dust...
