Russia has the coldest temperatures in the world, but even the Russians are not used to the temperatures in the eastern part of the country. A small town on the border between Siberia and Northern China recorded a temperature of -62.1 degrees Celsius on Tuesday. This is the first time in 54 years that the temperature has dropped below -60 degrees there. Moscow, the Russian capital, is in the western part of the country, but even there the temperatures were low. Last Sunday, the temperature dropped to -23 degrees. It was so cold that they decided to close the new ice-skating rink in Red Square. (By Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

In 2004, an ex-Silicon Valley entrepreneur and his nonprofit, American Prairie Reserve, set out on a mission to create a bigger, better Yellowstone. Unlike typical U.S. national parks, this one would be privately funded and free to the public. To accomplish this, American Prairie Reserve has been buying up ranches in East Montana, removing the cows, and replacing them with animals that would have been present in the area centuries ago before white settlers moved in, like wild bison, grizzly bears, wolves, and pronghorn. Nate Hegyi, a Pulitzer Center grantee and reporter with the Mountain West News Bureau, spent two weeks during summer 2019 living out of his truck and talking to all the stakeholders: ranchers, hunters, biologists, conservationists, and residents of the Fort Belknap and Fort Peck Indian Reservations. The end result is a nuanced and character-driven story t. (by Nate Hegyi)
