What would NSIDC and our media make of a photo like this if released by the NAVY today? Would we see headlines like “NORTH POLE NOW OPEN WATER”? Or maybe “Global warming melts North Pole”? Perhaps we would. sensationalism is all the rage these days. If it melts it makes headlines. Some additional captures from the newsreel below show that the ice was pretty thin then, thin enough to assign deckhands to chip it off after surfacing.

It’s interesting that that one shot is dated March 17, 1959. The sun won’t rise at the North Pole until March 21 (give or a take a day), but it must have been in nearly constant twilight, 24 hours a day, by March 17.
1959...it was Bush’s fault!
An ongoing link at the referenced site has all kinds of great data on polar ice caps and temperatures.

Thanks,.
Well, Professor, take a look at this photo of open water at the North Pole. Doesn't that contradict your theory about global cooling???
No, actually, that is quite consistent with our models . . . .
