☆ Warm Weather Forces Park Officials to Suspend Isle Royale Wolf Count for First Time in Decades
  + stars: | 2024-02-01 | by ( Associated Press | Feb. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +3 min
A stretch of unusually warm weather has forced federal officials to suspend researchers' annual wolf-moose count in Isle Royale National Park for the first time in more than six decades. Isle Royale is a 134,000-acre (54,200-hectare) island situated in far western Lake Superior between Grand Marais, Minnesota, and Thunder Bay, Canada. The park is a wildlife biologist's dream - it offers a rare opportunity to observe wolves and moose acting naturally without human influence. Researchers have conducted an annual survey of the park's wolf and moose population since 1958. She said warm temperatures have left the ice around the island unsafe for the scientists' ski-planes to land.

☆ If you plan on visiting these 9 US national parks this year, you'll definitely need a reservation — take a look
  + stars: | 2024-01-22 | by ( Lauren Edmonds | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +1 min
Some US national parks require tourists to make a reservation before visiting. Popular destinations like Yosemite National Park and Zion National Park are on the list. The scenic sights and outdoorsy activities attract millions to US national parks, typically open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Although there are 428 national park sites, there are only 63 that exclusively have "national park" in their name. The reservations typically cost $2, excluding Shenandoah National Park, Haleakalā National Park, Zion National Park, and Acadia National Park.

☆ Extreme Travel Is Inspiring New Types of Insurance
  + stars: | 2023-06-24 | by ( Ephrat Livni | Ravi Mattu | Michael J. De La Merced | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Traditional travel insurance won’t swoop in with paramedics, even though it typically covers the cost of an emergency. Dan Richards, the chief executive of Global Rescue, told DealBook that he wanted to fill that gap when he founded the emergency travel management company in 2004. Travel insurance is going to space. The space travel insurance market is still small, but Lloyd’s of London, which insures space businesses, began underwriting space travel insurance in 2021, and last year the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance said they would jointly develop space insurance offerings. The cost of search and rescue typically falls on state and local agencies, Ms. Hastings said.
