| | The Nome Gold Rush, Alaska Science Forum |
 | | Most of the credit for the Nome gold rush goes to the trio of John Byrnteson, Erik Lindblom and Jafet Lindeberg, who became known as the "The Three Lucky Swedes," although Lindeberg was actually a Norwegian. | | | Soon they had staked out 43 claims between them and, by power of attorney, 47 others for friends, relatives and backers. | | | It was hard to believe what was found. |

| | Birding in Nome, Alaska |
| | We reported the poor thing when we got back to Nome and some wildlife folk were dispatched to destroy it, to prevent the spread of the disease to other foxes. | | | The first thing we discovered was that we were too early - only the Teller road was open all the way. | | | Nome is far north of the tree line, and each year, the residents put all their Christmas trees (which have to be either collected from Council before the roads close for the winter or flown in) out on the ice after Christmas, and call it the Nome National Forest. |
