Chapter 2, Problem 12TYK
Summary Introduction
To review:
The conditions on Earth if ice would have been denser than water.
Introduction:
The hydrogen bonds in water molecules result in the formation of water lattice. These lattices are more prominent in solid crystalline form of ice. The overall mass per unit volume is less than that in liquid water because of the empty spaces between the lattices in ice. The density of ice is less than that of water.

- Consider the following scenario: A group of five treasure hunters have been hired to retrieve some artefacts believed to be in an abandoned castle in an environment similar to the Arctic tundra (this is a quasi-fantasy land where disparate climates can co-exist in ways they can’t in reality, but everyone is human and has human physiology). Their expedition is happening in winter, and the group set out each carrying a pack of supplies including tents, sleeping gear, and food for either 3 well-fed days or up to 8 days with rationing (approximately 30kg each). The treasure hunters travel on foot to get to the castle through lands where there are predators such as wolves and bears. They have two options in terms of speed of travel: slow (7 days to castle), and fast (4 days to castle). 1) As an advisor to the group, which speed would you say they should travel?
