What most people take for granted -- how fuel gets to our homes and cars -- is an epic story for Nome, Alaska, where the latest obstacle facing a fuel convoy trying to resupply the town is a 25-foot ice ridge blocking the harbor entrance.
Created by offshore ice pushing against the shore ice, the ridge sits inside the frozen harbor at Nome, population 3,500, and its tip sticks about five feet above the rest of the surface.
I thought that record warm temperatures had melted all the ice up there? You mean, it hasn't all melted??
