bump, so that I can watch the bridge cam later when they’re stuck in the ice.

Shackleton and Scott got stuck the Discovery in the ice in the Antarctic in the summer of 1903 through their own stupidity...
had to be rescued...
not exactly leadership material...
To: az_gila
Do you have a link to track their position (assuming their AIS is working)?

Looking at NASA imagery, it seems like they run a pretty significant risk that ice could be pushed down from the north in a big storm. They have a window to make it through but it's far from guaranteed. [Not that I claim to know anything about traveling through the Arctic....]
A Nearly Ice-Free Northwest Passage August 20, 2016
"Whats left of the ice in 2016 is opening up fast. Meier expects that the Northwest Passage will open up completely in the next couple of weeks. Moreover, a strong Arctic cyclone appears to be approaching the archipelago. It could push the ice around and further open up still-blocked channels. Or, it could have the opposite effect and push in ice from the north."

It is an advertisement disguised as an article, Canadian and Russian specially built ships have been selling cruises through the Arctic ocean for years. It is an amazing experience but very expensive.

That is a photo of the first “ship of fools”. The passengers are tramping down snow above the sea ice that has trapped them in the antarctic sea ice. the packed snow will be used for a helicopter landing pad to carry the tourists/passengers/propagandists out, rather than ferry food and supplies to the real scientists in the antarctic camps who need it.
Bloody foolish waste of time, fuel, and effort - But only propaganda for the CAGW crowd who need to see “no sea ice due to global warming”

How many penguins had to die for that ship to crash into the ice?
To: Robert A. Cook, PE
I know but that photo cracks me up everytime I see it.
Clueless libs booking passage to Antartica to see "proof" of global warming - only to get stuck in ice. I believe even Russian icebreakers had to get involved to save their sorry asses.
Truly a "ship of fools."

Poorly written articles.
Poor grammar and spelling by posters on most websites, including F.R.
Foreigners given free reign in our nation.
Everything we buy is a cheap piece of junk.
We’re on the HIGHWAY TO HELL.
