Maybe this was all the slime the enemedia tried to dig up on Sarah Palin.

Those of us in Alaska recognize this stuff. It’s the accumulation of smears and scandal published in the Daily News which was allowed to float out to sea so as not to stink up Cook Inlet.

Steve McQueen. First movie. The Blob. Ending. The blob was frozen in place by turning up the air-conditioning in the theater. Last scene, a crated up blob is being air dropped onto arctic ice.
Fast forward 51 years...

Unacceptably racist headline . . . .

In the last scene of this epic movie, the Blob is parachuted onto the Arctic icecap where it would remain frozen. Now, with Gorebull Warming the blob is loose again!

15 miles of jetsam from a passenger liner in the Arctic Sea?
And ocean biologists never saw passenger liner crap before?
The scum of the earth- no longer a figure of speech.

I'm no marine biologist, but the up-close picture sure looks like string algae to me - a scuba diver of 35 years.
Much like the great lakes, especially Erie, will experience tremendous and expansive algae blooms near the Ohio shore, I'd bet this is just a bloom of string algae in the North Pacific.
