Talk:Transantarctic Mountains

message: The hierarchy of geographic names within the Transantarctic Mountains is enormous.  As this article and articles on locations within the TAM are expanded, we should keep this hierarchy in mind and make it as clear as possible in the text and wiki links.  As I understand, the TAM are divided into (6-12) major mountain groups, with names like the Queen Maud Mountains.  This "section" of the TAM is then further subdivided into "ranges" (Commonwealth Range for example).  These ranges would then be divided into individual peaks.  Glaciers separate almost all of these subgroups and should be included in articles if their names are known.  As one can imagine by looking at the Rocky Mountains, a mountain range of this scale is going to encompass hundreds if not thousands of articles about locations within it.  I've tried to improve the organization of this article, but I'm sure there's more work to be done.  -- BlueCanoe 17:08, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Olaf Geirstad-Alf

message: The image of "Olaf" with "elves" is not Olaf Geristad-Alf, but Olaf the Saint who, in the actually story it is taken from runs a boat-race and reaches a place populated by trolls rather than elves (according to the original Danish ballad). Since the image is misleading, it should be removed in such time as it gets used in the article on the ballad.

I have read both Ynglingesoga and "Hversum Noreg Byggdist", and I find the evidence less than compelling, so I modified the article to cast doubt on this claim. (by my count, there are at least 4 men named Dag in "Hversum Noreg Byggdist"). I haven't seen this theory published (not that I would be likely to have found it), so I added a "citaiton needed" for the theory that they are the same. --Alvestrand (talk) 08:07, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Helgi Guðmundsson demonstrates a connection between the Old Norse word 'íkorni' (which usually means "squirrel") and unicorns. This may have come about as a reanalysis of Old French 'unicorne'. You could mistake the 'un' for an indefinite article and arrive at 'un icorne'. The spelling icorne is a plausible manuscript spelling of íkorni.

message: So what is World's largest underground lake?  Whomever wrote that shold at least tellu s what it is  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.111.4.25 (talk) 19:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The underground lake in The Lost Sea corresponds to the local water table.  Therefore, it fluctuates up and down seasonally.  In Tennessee the summer and fall are the dry season and the lake will reach its lowest level by the end of the dry season.  The winter and spring are the wet season and the lake will reach its highest level by the end of the wet season.
The natural crawlway that led to the lake was frequently flooded during high water conditions.  Therefore, in order to open the lake to tourists, the developers of the cave had to drill a well that intersected the lake and install pumps so that excess water could be pumped out to maintain access to the lake.  This period of developments occured during the early 1960s.  The crawlway itself was enlarged to comfortable walking dimensions, so that the tourists could easily reach the lake.
During the extreme drought of 2007, the lake level dropped 28 feet below normal.  When I visited the cave in March, 2008, the lake was still 26 feet below normal.  Normally, the lights in the Lake Room hang approximately 10 feet below the surface of the lake, but when I took the boat tour on March 12, 2008, they were hanging in the air, high above the boats.
