“Candy Pebbles are a surprise mix of chocolates, fruits, nuts, and candies with a unique candy coated pebble shell.”
Not only do they look pretty good, they sound pretty darn tasty too! I might have to break down and get some. 🙂
Might be just the thing to stuff someone’s therma-check-polar-fleece-hiking-grades tocking.

The West Fjords are a series of peninsulas in northwestern Iceland. They represent less than one-eighth the country’s land area, but their jagged perimeter accounts for more than half of Iceland’s total coastline.

A geologist has radiocarbon-dated tree stumps found at the foot of glaciers in Western Canada and found them to be 7,000 years old. The stumps, which look fresh and are rooted to their original soil and location, appear as they do due to their being buried under glacial ice for 7,000 years.
Geologist Johannes Koch of The College of Wooster who ran the tests, said of the trees “They really indicate when the glaciers overrode them, and their kill date gives the age of the glacier advance,” Koch explained. They also give us a span of time during which the glaciers have always been larger than they were 7000 years ago – until the recently warming climate released the stumps from their icy tombs.”
While there have been many advances and retreats of these glaciers over the past 7000 years, no retreats have pushed them back so far upstream as to expose these trees. Koch points to global warming to explain the recent rapid glacial retreat.
“It seems like an unprecedented change in a short amount of time,” Koch said. “From this work and many other studies looking at forcings of the climate system, one has to turn away from natural ones alone to explain this dramatic change of the past 150 years.”
Koch presented his findings at the recent GSA Conference.
