"Come visit our town! Despite the chilly name given by the French long ago, the water is not always icy. We have a wonderful museum that pays tribute to the many people who made their living underground, and a national historic site that marks the location from where a famous signal was sent, without wires, across the Atlantic."

"Sunrise and sunset times here (when we have them) are a little imprecise because of our latitude, and so your longitude calculation for us will be close but not exact. But these final clues will help. Our country has three year-round research stations on the continent; our station has a coastal location, and is the largest of the three. If you want to get a good "observation" of the station, hike up the "hill" next to us for this view. Our nearest neighbors are from New Zealand."

"What's in a name? Plenty! Derived from an indigenous tribe's name for the celestial object that brightens the night sky, our city has the same name as our valley, our county, and a nearby mountain, university, and auto raceway. And raise the flag! A nonviolent revolt happened here about 170 years ago when a new flag was raised, which led to our state becoming its own republic."

A few other tips to finding us -- many tourists will visit the Roman theatre; some visit the Citadel too.
