Using Google Earth and NASA pictures, a Canadian based scientist (ecologist) on the lookout for receding arctic permafrost, came across what’s possibly the largest beaver dam on earth.
“It might be hard to believe, but there are a few things that are visible from space, and beaver dams are among the few animal-made structures that are,” said Thie.(read story)
Discovered in 2007 using the online satellite imaging system, this beaver dam exists in a national park in nothern Alberta, Canada and measures almost 3,000 feet long. Apparently, it’s been showing up on NASA satellite images since 1990; and is estimated to have taken more than 20 years to build.

That’s impressive.
For mor on this topic look here.
staggering project scope. thanks for bringing that to my attention.
it explains perfectly how the beaver spirit has managed to foil our best spring weather every year for the past decade.
i need to develop a massive crow nesting site in the Northwest, one sufficiently large to offset the spiritual power of this massive beaver dam, and restore balance to our seasons. only the crow spirit can chase the beaver spirit from our skies and provide the sunny weather we require.
I suppose it would be inappropriate to ask if they can see Sharon Stone from space.
tombaker2,
I can get you the name of a good totem maker;-0
rc – i’d need a forest’s worth of poles to get the temps around here up to 70. might require a special permit from the state.
then again, it would be less messy than a 20 square mile crow rookery…
one way or another – now that i know where the nexus of the beaver’s spirit power is, i will bring an end to his damp, chilly rain of tyranny. (intended)
Done. Yay!
First thought on seeing just the headline – man, that Hubble is getting invasive!
Second thought, Palin has switched from shooting wildlife from a helicopter?
