The Icy Archipelago: Did you know?

On August 30th (that’s today!), 1873, an Austro-Hungarian Polar Expedition led by Karl Weyprecht and Julius von Payer discovered an icy archipelago while searching for a northeast passage to the North Pole. They named the cluster of 191 ice-covered islands Franz Joseph Land, after their emperor. The islands, located north of Russia, had no inhabitants except for polar bears, walrus, arctic foxes, and seals. Today, the islands have several Russian settlements where the settlers rely solely on walrus and seal meat for sustenance.

The World’s Loudest Sound: Did you know?

On August 27th (that’s today!), 1883, the volcanic Indonesian island of Krakatoa unleashed its fury in a series of four gargantuan explosions that made what is to this day, the loudest sound in recorded history. Never mind the ash plume that rocketed 50 miles into the atmosphere, or the shock waves that traveled around the earth seven times, Krakatoa takes the cake for earsplitting explosions. Scientists say it was like 200 Megatons of dynamite. Anyone within ten miles of the blast went deaf. Ships in the Sunda Strait contended with 100ft tsunami waves and the sailors’ eardrums ruptured. The rain of hot ash and pumice on deck convinced many sailors they were under attack, and they were, by a pressure wave created by the final explosion that sped away from the blast at 675mph. The sound was mistaken as cannon fire in the Indian Ocean, on the small island of Rodrigues, 3,000 miles away.

The Fastest Kid: Did you know?

On August 26th (that’s today!), 1973, running phenom Mary Etta Boitana beat 1,500 runners to win California’s historic Dipsea Race. She was ten years old. Being a youngster, she had a 25-minute head start, but the course is a rigorous series of obstacles. The 7.5-mile race climbs 688 stairs up the side of Mt. Tamalpais then plunges through Muir Woods to the Pacific Ocean at Stinson Beach on numerous singletrack trails. The maze of alternate trails makes race strategy important, and that’s what contributed to Boitana’s win. At age five she won the women’s title, making her a savvy 5-year veteran by the time she won it all at age ten.
