Nottingham Ice Stadium

The Nottingham Ice Stadium was an ice rink in Nottingham, England.

The building was first opened in 1939 but it was quickly called upon for other purposes. Throughout World War II, the Ice Stadium acted as a store for guns, bullets and other ammunition produced at the nearby Royal Ordnance Factory.

When the war ended, the building soon returned to being a recreational and ice sport building. A year after the end of the war, the Ice Stadium became the home of the Nottingham Panthers ice hockey team, who would use the facility until it closed, albeit with a twenty year break.

When the Panthers shut down in 1960, the rink continued to be used for ice skating and some other ice sports and would be where Torvill and Dean would practice in their early years.

The Panthers were re-established in 1980 and the Ice Stadium became renowned as one of the most intimidating places for opposition ice hockey teams to visit.

In 1996, plans were announced to replace the aging building with a modern arena and a new skating pad. The Nottingham Ice Stadium was closed after 61 years in 2000. The Panthers played their final game at the Ice Stadium against the Newcastle Jesters, which was lost 2-1 in overtime. The building was demolished soon afterwards to allow for the completion of the National Ice Centre

Clarence Fahnestock State Park

Clarence Fahnestock Memorial State Park a 14,086-acre (56.3 km²) New York state park, in Putnam and Dutchess counties. The park has hiking trails, an environmental center, a beach on Canopus Lake, and fishing on four ponds and two lakes. Most of the park is in northern Putnam County between the Taconic State Parkway and US Route 9.

The original land, a donation of about 2,400 acres (9.6 km²), was donated in 1929 by Dr. Ernest Fahnestock as a memorial to his brother Clarence.

During the winter season, part of the park functions as the Fahnestock Winter Park. The park also includes the Taconic Outdoor Education Center.

The park offers a beach, picnic tables with pavilions, a playground, recreation programs, a nature trail, hiking and biking, a bridle path, seasonal turkey and deer hunting, fishing and ice fishing, a campground with tent and trailer sites, sledding, ice skating, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, a boat launch with boat rentals, and a food concession.

Cayuga Lake State Park

Cayuga Lake State Park is located on the north end of Cayuga Lake in the US state of New York, east of Seneca Falls on the west side of lake, along New York State Route 89.

The park offers a beach, a playground and playing fields, picnic tables and pavilions, recreation programs, a nature trail, showers, fishing, a boat launch, a dump station, cabins with view of the lake, campground for tents and trailers, sledding, cross-country skiing and ice fishing.

Evans Ice Stream

Evans Ice Stream () is a large ice stream draining from Ellsworth Land, between Cape Zumberge and Fowler Ice Rise, into the western part of Ronne Ice Shelf. The feature was recorded on February 5, 1974 in Landsat imagery. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Stanley Evans, British physicist who, starting in 1961, developed apparatus for radio echo sounding of icecaps and glaciers from aircraft; he carried out upper atmosphere research at Brunt Ice Shelf, 1956-57.

Keebles Hut

Keebles Hut is an Australian Alpine hut located in New South Wales. Built in 1942 by Snowy Miller, Alex Milovitch, Arthur Keeble and Dr Hubert Smith for Arthur and Flo Nankervis as a fishing lodge. Located in the Geehi flats area, south of Dead Horse Gap and a short walk from the main Geehi Hut and camp area. Keebles hut is famous for its excellent camping group with a brilliant view of the surrounding area. The hut was resumed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service in 1970. Today the hut is a popular destination for day walkers hiking groups. Constructed of River rocks in a similar fashion to Geehi Hut and YHA Hut.

Ice XII

Ice XII is a metastable, dense, crystalline phase of solid water. It is a type of ice. It was first reported in 1996 by C. Lobban, J.L. Finney and W.F. Kuhs and after initial caution was properly identified in 1998.

It was first obtained by cooling liquid water to 260 K at a pressure of 0.55 GPa; it was discovered existing within the phase stability region of ice V. Later research showed that ice XII could be created outside that range. Pure ice XII can be created from ice Ih at 77 K by rapid compression (0.81-1.00 GPa/min) or by warming high density amorphous ice at pressures between 0.8 and 1.6 GPa.

While it is similar in density (1.29 g/cm3 at 127 K) to ice IV (also found in the ice V space) it exists as a tetragonal crystal. Topologically it is a mix of seven- and eight-membered rings, a 4-connected net (4-coordinate sphere packing) — the densest possible arrangement without hydrogen bond interpenetration.

Screen (ice hockey)

In ice hockey, a screen is when a player is obstructing the goaltender’s view of the puck. The word can also be used as a verb, commonly “don’t screen the goaltender”, or “the goalie was screened“. Screens can be both planned, as when an attacking forward positions himself in front of the net, or accidental, like when a defensemen accidentally blocks the goalie’s view. Attacking players may attempt to take advantage of a screen by taking a shot.
