Video from The Sun surfaced this morning showing an alleged gnome running around an Argentinian town, scaring the living daylights out of local teens. My thoughts are that this is either a hoax or a clever viral marketing campaign courtesy of Travelocity. Watch the video below and just try to fight the urge to book a three day two night cruise to Cancun and Belize. But it’s such a good deal!

Kayaker extraordinaire and videographer Alex Nicks makes me green. With envy. He is constantly globetrotting with a team of National Geographic explorers to bring us some of the most lovely and inspiring reportage from far off places where kayaks can go. And though you might not think that the Altiplano of South America is such a place (it is one of the driest places on earth and the place that most closely approximates Mars on our planet) this video shot by Alex shows what a hospitable place it actually is for kayaks.
The video here, though short, is chock full of breath-taking scenery and sweet shots, well, people paddling. The short is part of the epic paddling series Oceans 8 with Jon Bowermaster, a gadling hero. Check it out.
