Description
Inupiat Eskimo villagers in a small Alaska community are facing six long months of melting ice and snow nearly every time they want to cook a meal or bathe, after freezing temperatures hit before workers could fill the village's two large storage . Officials in Kivalina had hoped to pull more than 1 million gallons from the nearby Wulik River before it froze over — enough to allow residents to cook, clean and keep its Laundromat, or "washeteria," open all winter. But city administrator Janet Mitchell said Tuesday that crews were "packing it up because it's just too cold to pump." New York Times Company.10/10/12.
