Eskimo ice cream: the native Alaskan dessert featuring pike fish
CBSN
More than 400 miles from Anchorage, the only way to get to Bethel, Alaska, is by boat or plane.
In the remote city, travel is still an obstacle: The main road is a frozen river six months out of the year, and along that seasonal path, native Alaskan Laurie O'Brien makes the trek in search of pike fish — the unlikely key ingredient for her generations-old dessert.
In order to catch the fish, O'Brien drills through a 4-foot sheet of ice, baits a hook and waits for a bite to make akutaq, also known as Eskimo ice cream. Like most traditional Native dishes, it features only ingredients hunted and gathered.

The peace and tranquility of Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco – home to 500+ acres of old-growth redwoods – make it just about the last place you'd expect to find a fight brewing. "The fact that they're taking down whole groups of signs about climate change and our nation's history is disappointing, and embarrassing," said retired U.S. Park Ranger Lucy Scott In:

We share our planet with maybe 10 million species of plants, animals, birds, fish, fungi and bugs. And to help identify them, millions of people are using a free phone app. "Currently we have about six million people using the platform every month," said Scott Loarie, the executive director of iNaturalist, a nonprofit.
