In addition to the detailed information as provided under the section on 'climate', in general the coldest temperature that we have encountered on the Peninsula is at freezing 32?F (0?C). With wind and weather conditions, it can seem colder.

The average length of a freighter voyage is 40 to 50 days, however there will be some shorter trips available which last a couple of weeks. An around the world voyage lasts generally 70 to 80 days, while the shortest trip can only last few days. Please refer to our destinations sections.

To begin with you will just need to simply fill in the booking form in the corresponding section on our web site and send it over to us, indicating the type of destination you are looking for. We will process your request as soon as possible and reply to you back confirming the application.

The Spirit of South Carolina will provide a broad range of excursions, from day sails in the harbor for elementary students to week-long sails to coastal cities and even Bermuda for high-school and college students. The destination and length of excursion will be determined by who is onboard.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is the story of the futuristic submarine Seaview and its crew. The Seaview, brainchild of Admiral Harriman Nelson, is both a research vessel and a military one, although only its research capabilities are known to most, and it's often used by visiting scientists to work on sophisticated oceanographic research projects. The ship is also called upon occasionally for important missions for the US governemt, and can when necessary be commissioned by the Navy.

When you consider all the factors, it's really inexpensive. NASA spends an average of $100 million per astronaut on a typical shuttle flight. To fly as a passenger on an existing rocket booster would cost an estimated $500,000 per person. You can be one of the first civilians in space for less than ½ the cost of a Ferrari sports car.

Most travel agents do not book freighter voyages. You will have to book through an agent that specializes in this type of travel, such as one of the agents listed on the "agents page", or directly through the ship's agent/manager. Remember that there may be voyages available that the travel agent is not advertising on the Internet or elsewhere. If you want to go on a particular voyage, ask the agent what they have available. Remember also that not all agents offer the same voyages.

July 21, 1983. Vostok holds the global record. The coldest temperature ever recorded here in North America was -81.4?F in Snag, Yukon, Canada. Prospect Creek, Alaska came in a close second with a low of -79.8?F.

According to the records of the U.S. Weather Bureau at Worcester Airport, the record coldest day was February 16, 1943, when the thermometer struck 24 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. That was the middle day of a cold snap. A minus two was recorded on the day before and the day afterwards. To go to the other extreme, a record high temperature of 102 degrees was recorded in Worcester in July, 1911.

The coldest temperatures usually occur when the wind is light or calm because the air isn’t mixing. During light or calm winds, the coldest air settles toward the Earth’s surface, where we live. However, when it’s windy, air feels colder to the exposed skin because of the wind chill.

We do not have any passenger lists or immigration records and the Museum does not have the resources to do research immigration vessels for the public. We can check to see if we have any images of a specific vessel in our collection. Please see our Basic Guide to Researching Nova Scotian Ships and Seafarers.

It is hard to predict. Sailors always advise when heading to the open sea "prepare for the worst and hope for the best." At some point during the voyage, it is likely that we will encounter heavy seas - although how rough and for how long is unpredictable. Please consult your doctor about the appropriate medication for sea sickness.

Most shipping lines will operate on the basis of a fixed price, based on the number of days your voyage is scheduled to last - If your voyage is a few days shorter you will receive no refund, but if it is a few days longer you are not charged extra. However, if there is a major alteration to your schedule and a large chunk of your voyage is lost, you will usually be offered a refund based on the number of days lost.

Admiral Harriman Nelson (Richard Basehart), both brilliant scientist and fine military mind, is creator of the Seaview and head of the Nelson Institute of Marine Research (NIMR). His is the final word on any decisions affecting the ship.

I used to try to maintain a page with as many Voyage air times as I could find, but it turned out to be almost impossible to keep current so I've stopped doing this. I do know that as of today (January 10, 2001) Voyage is airing in the United States on the Sci-Fi Channel, Monday through Friday at 8 am EST. I believe it is showing in Canada in the early morning on the Space Channel.

That depends entirely on who you're asking! I can tell you what the most popular episode is ("Submarine Sunk Here") according to the Voyage survey here, and I can tell you what my personal favorite episode is ("The Mist of Silence"), but I really can't give you an episode that's unequivovally the best or worst of the run. Other than that, the episodes you'll prefer will depend a lot on why you like Voyage in the first place. The show changed a great deal over time.

The black rain pants you are seen wearing in Turkey look really nice. What brand are they? A: Thank you for the questions, Mark. My hands are kept warm with the Solomon GoreTex lined ski gloves I have. The GoreTex lining is great for keeping rain and moisture out, but they don’t quite keep up with my perspiration. After a few hard days cycling without a chance to dry out, they are noticably damp inside. However, I very rarely have cold hands with these.

Last Patch will cure down to 40 degrees F. However, you will need to add accelerator to the mixture. At that temperature, grind times should be an hour or less with the addition of accelerator.

The site of the lowest temperature recorded on earth: -86.6?C is Vostok Station, the Russian research station located near the South Geomagnetic Pole, at the centre of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.Vostok was built in 1957 and named for one of Bellingshausen’s two ships. Newcomers gasp for breath at Vostok, because although the station sits at an elevation of 3448m, the low pressure of the atmosphere makes it feel like 5000m. Because of its elevation, Vostok is colder than the South Pole.

We've had reports of EZ STREET being used in Siberia (Russia) where we understand it is always "very" cold.

It’s mainly because it takes time for the atmosphere to adjust to the decreased amount of solar energy that occurs in the winter. This “atmospheric lag” is due to the huge volume of water in the oceans, which cover 71% of the Earth’s surface and are a major contributor of energy to the atmosphere. Less solar energy in winter slowly lowers the temperature of water in the oceans, which in turn slowly cools the atmosphere.

Depending on the route you choosed, you will see frequent reminders of long-vanished cultures; elaborate and amazingly intact Lycian cliff tombs dating back to 500BC or so. There are ruins of pirate villages to explore; amphitheatres scattered all along the coast; most of them completely open and free for you to wander around - no gates, guards. Just see the "Places of Interest" page of our site.

When we come onboard, we will assess the vessel and prepare a written report of any deficiencies. You will be responsible for correcting these deficiencies before departure.

It takes approximately a day and a half for the Soyuz TMA to reach the ISS. Once docking has been achieved, you will stay aboard the station for approximately an additional six days. Approximately seven hours are required for Earth re-entry and landing after undocking from the ISS, making the total voyage approximately eight days.

Sorry, we cannot. As all of our items are originals, finding an exact date is like finding a needle in a haystack! It is extremely unlikely that you will ever see anything from the particular voyage that you have in mind, but you may be able to own a piece of history from that ship or shipping company that you are interested in. So while it may not be the correct voyage or even the exact year, it really is possible for you to acquire something to treasure.
