Today was the Polar Bear Jumpoff Festival in Seward. It's similar to the Polar Bear Jump in Maryland only the people jump off a pier straight into the harbour. I'm not sure what temperature the water was but it's snowed on and off the past few days and there's often ice in the harbour. Unfortunately there were so many people that my dad and I weren't able to see the people jumping but we could see the emergency scuba divers in the water and the occasional splash of water. So since I wasn't able to get any pictures I've included a few I found through Google from a previous year.
My dad and I are driving up to Anchorage tomorrow afternoon and I fly up to Fairbanks on Monday. I move into my apartment on the 19th, orientation on the 20th, and then classes start the 21st!
