Not so long ago, on Valentines Day 1899, on a planet quite different from our own, the crew of the Belgica finally cut their ship free of Antarctic ice. The ice was seven feet thick and it would take another full month to chop and blast their way to open water. The sailors had been trapped in the ice for 13 months.

Among the crew was a certain Roald Amundsen, as well as the photographer Frederick Cook. As ice gripped the Belgica in 1898, Cook wrote in his diary:

Fisheries Minister Joyce Murray has announced the federal government will not renew licences for 15 open-net Atlantic salmon farms around British Columbia’s Discovery Islands.

Murray says in a news release the Discovery Islands area is a key migration route for wild salmon where narrow passages bring migrating juvenile salmon into close contact with the farms.
