A record 144 nominations for this year's Nobel Peace Prize were received by Friday. Among the entrants are a bid for President Clinton and an apparently improvised target in Albania.

The trip, part of a Danish effort, aims to cross Greenland’s northern region while Frederik trains with the Frogman Corps in Arctic skills.
