	muskeg (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Muskeg itself consists of dead plants in various stages of decomposition, ranging from fairly intact sphagnum peat moss or sedge peat to highly decomposed muck.
		The water level in muskeg is usually at or near the surface.
		Stepping on muskeg is like stepping on a sponge, and walking across it involves avoiding the multitude of open ponds that range in size from potholes to small lakes.

	Science Fair Projects - Muskeg
		Muskeg is a soil type (also a peatland or wetland type called a bog) common in arctic and boreal areas.
		Muskeg itself consists of dead plants in various states of decomposition (i.e., peat), ranging from fairly intact sphagnum moss, to sedge peat, to highly decomposed muck.
		During the 1870s muskeg in Northern Ontario was reported to have swallowed a railroad engine whole when a track was laid on muskeg instead of clearing down to bedrock.
