Aurora
Running with the Wolves - Aurora
3. So a typical plot aspect of a Disney princess film is the lack of a motherly role or that of an estranged mother. However, one recent Disney flick, Brave, features Princess Merida and her escapades against the evil Mor’du who *spoilers* teams up with her mother to save the day. What is her mother’s name?
Elinor

Bonus: So in writing this round I read about the development of the Disney Princess – on the wiki of course – and found out that there’s actually something called the Disney Renaissance Era which lasted from 1989 to 2000 and featured 5 active, strong-willed, adventurous, feisty, cunning and determined princesses. Name me these 5.
1. Ariel - Kiss the Girl from Little Mermaid

Let it Go - Idina Menzel
2. So I’ve been watching a lot of Planet Earth lately, so naturally I’ve been learning a lot too. One really cool thing to watch is the migration of this antler’d animal across the arctic tundra – apparently it’s one of the largest migration of terrestrial animals.
Caribou/Reindeer
Caribou Lou - Tech N9ne
3. So Polar Bears and penguins can’t meet because the bears are confined to the arctic. Photographers have captured the hardship of these bears due to global warming and the lack of food in the region. This country features nearly 60% of the world’s polar bears who are confined to the Arctic Region. What country is that?
Canada
Canada - Rucka Rucka Ali

3. Pearl Harbor was attacked on a Sunday morning just before 8 o’clock in the morning – which in my eyes is the worst time ever to do anything to anyone.

U.S.S. Arizona
Arizona - Hey Monday
4. In a heroic effort – one ship attempted to exit the harbor despite severe damage. Eventually the ship was suffering enough damage that it was purposely beached so as to prevent the harbor from being blocked by it sinking. What was the name of that ship?

Mountaineering/Winter Hiking
Matt likes history, meh I like skiing. But, I did a round on skiing before so lets hike some mountains in the winter or go mountaineering!
When going for a big hike in the winter the worst part is snowshoeing up to the steeper parts. Snowshoes are so cumbersome and hard! Anyway what are those spiky things you put on your boots later on?
Crampons
Cramping my style by UGK
During my first winter mountain summit with my brother we practiced sliding down the side with aid of an ice axe. I want to know what this is called. BTW take your spikes off of your boots before or you’re gonna have a bad time.
Glissading
Bliss by Muse
So we have a couple ice axes at home for when my brother and I go out. When you go ice climbing you use something similar, but it has a different name. I want to know the name of the “axe” used in ice climbing. Its called ice “something”
Ice tool
Tools by yellerkin
I always hated getting the camel back when hiking in the winter, but being the younger sibling I had no choice. Halfway up a hike the water pipe would freeze taking forever just to get it going again. Anyway that's not as cold as other places, I want to know the coldest recorded temperature at the top of mount washington. (the hints within a few degrees and this is in F)
-47
50 ways to say goodbye
Name me the tallest 5 mountains in New England
Mount Washington Washington by your side Wiz Khalifa
Mount Adams The Adams Administration Hamilton
Mount Jefferson White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane
Mount Monroe Marilyn Monroe by Niki Minaji
Mount Madison Milky Way by Madison Mars
Picture Question: So Scott Pruitt just became the head of the EPA which basically means that government positions aren’t relevant. So the letter or e-mail or carrier pidgeon hasn’t come yet - but what positions are Alex and I going to be selected for? I hear Secretary of State is still up for grabs ;)
