Nanuq Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 Mt. Redoubt has been rumbling like crazy the last couple weeks and an eruption is imminent. I can see it out my window and the Alaska Volcano Observatory is updating activity reports every few minutes. Check it out.... http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/avo/webicorders/RSO24hr_heli.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demsey Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 STAY AWAY FROM THE ICE CAVES! I read somewhere that indicating the AM/PM was the original purpose of the 24h hand of the Explorer II; the watch was meant for speleologists that could lose the notion of time, so they couldn't tell if it was morning or evening. To such an intent, a non-adjustable hand makes sense. It isn't a GMT hand lol, that's a stretch.....................maybe Bob could use this feature when an avalanche traps him in an ice cave when Redoubt blows; OK men, time to weigh our assets and liabilities; Assets; Plenty of H2O and I'm wearing a Rolex ref. 1655. Liabilities; No bars on the cell phone, emergency services will be busy with the ash fall and utilities, we won't even be listed as 'missing' until morning, which, according to my orange hand, will be in exactly..................17 hours. Cool! God Bless you Hans Wilsdorf.............. But seriously, this is exactly why I need a Speedmaster Moon gen. I'm afraid of breaking the sapphire crystal in my space capsule and having the shards clog the CO2 rebreather. Hesalite is the only way to go. Thank goodness Rolex and Omega are watching out for us..................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
