ICE QUEEN LIZ

SUMMIT STATION, Greenland — On the cusp of age 65, Liz Morris fits no one's image of a polar trailblazer. Yet here she was, set to head off on a demanding, monthlong journey by snowmobile down the 10,000-foot (3,000-meter)-high spine of the vast Greenland ice sheet. It's the kind of research expedition she has mastered in decades on the ice, in a career that won her Britain's Polar Medal, bestowed by another Elizabeth, her queen. By AP Special Correspondent Charles J. Hanley.

ENVIRONMENTAL DEALS

LOS ANGELES — Long before studies showed one of the world's largest solar projects could harm or kill more than 1,100 tortoises in the Mojave Desert, the threatened creature's longtime champion already had signed off on the project. Months earlier, the Center for Biological Diversity had agreed not to sue or challenge Oakland-based BrightSource Energy Co.'s project — expected to cost $2 billion — in exchange for additional protections and a swath of desert tortoise habitat elsewhere. Any finer points of the deal remain a mystery because the agreement is confidential. The unusual deal is one of several that environmental groups have cut in recent years, offering silence or support for a project in exchange land or money towards conservation efforts. While such settlements aren't new, experts say they are larger and more controversial as environmental groups have become powerful enough to stall or derail projects and are more willing to settle.
