Another Siberia pic + Flight route.

Here's another picture (out the airplane window) of Siberia.  Even though it might not look like it, the dark areas are ice, not water.  See the bright spot close to the center of the picture?  That's the sun reflected in the ice!  As the plane flew over the ice, the sun would be reflected on the patches of ice that weren't covered with snow.  Very cool and very surrealistic.

The second picture is a picture from one of the monitors on our flight from San Francisco to Beijing -- when they weren't playing movies, they would show our route and our position along the route.  At one point, the temperature outside the plane was -78 degrees Fahrenheit!
