The beauty of this watch is its presentation of the theme. “Five Weeks in a Balloon”, a new piece from the French exquisite jewelers is inspired by the world famous fictionalist Jules Verne and his extraordinary voyages novel by the same name. Then there are watches that are too hard to get. There are watches that are too hard to explain. The Japanese government declared a "nuclear power emergency" due to a loss of coolant and evacuated thousands of residents living close to Fukushima I. Japanese stations are constructed to specifications for resisting earthquake shocks well beyond the high point of 7 on the Richter scale, though the one that struck on Friday was at the high end for all records kept in the world since 1900, at 8.9. Engineers are working to keep control of cooling of reactor cores, with three facilities badly damaged as a result of the natural disaster, causing urgent concern. In Japan, the desperate moves to avert a nuclear disaster continue, with emergency resources also heavily stressed by the impacts of the initial earthquake and tsunami - the catastrophe named by the Japanese government as the worst endured by the country in over 50 years. It was the first nuclear plant to be constructed and run entirely by the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO). Fukushima I is one of the 25 largest nuclear power stations in the world. Nuclear officials believe a hydrogen explosion may have occurred at Japan's Fukushima Dai-ich nuclear plant crippled by massive earthquake. Second Explosion Feared at Japanese Nuclear Plant Don't even consider driving the Dalton unless you have 4-wheel drive, a CB radio, extra fuel, food, tires, and a trunk filled with supplies. Trucks speeding along the slippery gravel track kick up thick clouds of dust or mud, reducing visibility to absolute zero potholes take a heavy toll on cars and services, gas, and repairs are practically nonexistent. Windshields and headlights are easy targets of flying rocks. It's not for "normal" cars, and it's even worth reconsidering taking anything that doesn't have a hardcore four-wheel-drive system. This 666-km (no joke!) stretch of hell was built to support the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. It heads straight north from the Livengood turnoff of the Elliott Highway, through arctic tundra to the farthest north reaches of Alaska.
This is not a road for the faint of heart, or those with a brand-new vehicle! The James Dalton Highway is a 414-mile gravel road.
