The new Ice Age is beginning if it keeps up at that rate.

The Northwest Passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific has remained blocked by pack-ice all year. More than 20 yachts that had planned to sail it have been left ice-bound and a cruise ship attempting the route was forced to turn back.

A cruise ship did go through in September. There was more ice, but the passage was not blocked. While that ship made it, they had to detour a bit based on real time ice reports and the Canadian kept ice breakers on standby. Cruising the NW passage is a multi-million dollar business so they will do it with or without ice.
