White Ajah Winter Carnival - The Amazing Race!

[Elgee]

What do you know about this? Fill in the blank and move your team!

 

 

In the winter-based movie Frozen (2013), there is a scene where two townsmen debate whether to stack the firewood bark up or bark down.

This refers to an actual debate in _________ that was sparked in 2013 after a 12-hour TV program on firewood aired in this country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

*drools a bit*

 

uhm ... yeah sorry are you looking for the name of a country? If so, I'll guess Canada.

[Rhea]

Yes, a country. Not Canada though.

 

You sleep?

[Niniel]

Norway?

[eternalangel]

Sweden?

[Rhea]

Norway?

 

Close...

[Rhea]

Tina & Elgee move ahead of the pack!

 

I say BARK UP!  (Ohh....woof!)

 

[Rhea]

What is that over there? Funny how those little critters blend in so well up here!

 

Some animals possess the amazing ability to turn white during the winter: Name two and move your team!

[Shad_]

Certain types of hares and cats I think.

[Shad_]

Actually I think it's a type of fox.  Hares and foxes.

[Guest]

that and lemmings and stoats?

I had to google the translation for stoats... coz i knew the name in french but not in English lol

[Sooh]

Hare and stoat

[Sooh]

(Also there was a huge debate on bark up or down in Norway as well, in fact I think the slow-tv program that generated the idea was Norwegian. We are the kings of slow tv)

[Elgee]

Snow leopards and caribou (especially some kinds)

[Rhea]

Actually I think it's a type of fox.  Hares and foxes.

 

 

that and lemmings and stoats?

I had to google the translation for stoats... coz i knew the name in french but not in English lol

 

 

Hare and stoat

 

 

If you said arctic fox, arctic hare, ptarmigan, barren-ground caribou, and ermine (aka Stoat) then you move!

 

[Rhea]

Be the first to answer this question and move your team ahead 3 towns! *WHAT!*

 

The volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in April 1815 created a “Year without Summer” in the Northern Hemisphere. 

 

In what country is Mount Tambora located?

[Rhea]

The Mushers seam to have gone off course! I have not seen one in hours. *gets out binoculars*

[Mashiara Sedai]

Ummmmm.... *has never heard of Mount Tambora or the "Year Without Summer"*  I'll guess United States?  Maybe in Hawaii or Washington state?  

[Rhea]

*Hint*

 

It is still an active volcano! It last erupted in 1967. (not in the US)

[Niniel]

Japan?

[Sooh]

It's not an Icelandic name, it's more probably Pacific region. 

 

Philippines?

[Elgee]

Indonesia. There was a tv series about it (sort of a mix of doccie and fiction) just the other day. Well, it was on OUR tv just the other day - probably years old! lol

[Rhea]

Elgee takes over the Musher spot and with a great dog team find themselves pulling in to Unalakleet, way ahead of the competition. 

 

[Rhea]

Keep you teams moving!

 

The first Musher to answer this correctly will have a random roll forward. (One to six moves ahead!)

 

The Southern Hemisphere typically has milder winters than the Northern Hemisphere. This is because the Southern Hemisphere has more what?

 

 

 

HINT!  It has nothing to do with penguins!

[Niniel]

Well done, Elgee! *highfives*

 

I think it´s because it´s more water in the southern hemisphere.
