		"Perhaps Alfred Wegener's greatest contribution to the scientific world was his ability to weave seemingly dissimilar, unrelated facts into a theory, which was remarkably visionary for the time.
		At the turn of the 20th century, the prevailing view of the earth was that it was slowly cooling and contracting, and -- like the skin of a rotting fruit -- its surface was wrinkling to produce mountains and valleys.
		Alfred Wegener perrished in a snow storm together with a man from Ukkusissat, on a trip from a camp up on the central ice cap, 1932.
