    On thin ice: the brutal cold of Canada's Arctic was once a defence, but a warming climate has changed that.

    Geopolitical tensions are heating up on Canada's borders, but the biggest threat may be from wildly fluctuating temperatures transforming the tundra and ocean.

    Halloween celebration in Walpole, NH
    October 31, 2024 - Walpole, New Hampshire, United States: The legendary ghost of Sleepy Hollow, a headless horseman who is said to be searching for the head that he lost in battle. A house linked to renowned American author Louisa May Alcott, with extensive Halloween decorations. Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in the United states and its charm has spread to many countries around the world on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed. In popular culture, the day has become a celebration of horror, being associated with the macabre and supernatural. Trick-or-treating is a customary celebration for children on Halloween. Children go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as candy or sometimes money, with the question, "Trick or treat?" The word "trick" implies a "threat" to perform mischief on the homeowners or their property if no treat is given. The practice is said to have roots in the medieval practice of mumming, which is closely related to souling. Mumming practiced in Germany, Scandinavia and other parts of Europe,[169] involved masked persons in fancy dress who "paraded the streets and entered houses to dance or play dice in silence".
