In that case I'm sad to see that you didn't get it.

Sorry, but the story of the "great wall of ice" has been told in my family, from generation to generation, back thousands of generations.

My 18 year old son learned about this when he was 10.

The wooly mammoth story is a hoot.

The article was obvious written by someone that can't reveal the information he has and doesn't want to lie.
This is a common situation today - just think about a researcger that has facts that would contradict evolution theory, but he knows he can't tell you about them, because he knows he will loose his job otherwise.
From the link : When the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf originally formed, it blocked the mouth of Disraeli Fiord, cutting it off from the Arctic Ocean. In the process, the ice shelf trapped driftwood inside the epishelf lake and kept other pieces of driftwood from entering. Pieces of driftwood found along the shores of Disraeli Fiord have been there since the ice shelf formed, and by radiocarbon dating the wood, researchers have been able to estimate the minimum age of the ice shelf. “There simply are no radiocarbon dates more recent than 3,000 years before present,” said Jeffries. This ice shelf, in existence for at least three millennia, has now encountered conditions it can no longer survive.
Q : So why isn't the information given about the most recent radiocarbon dates that were found ?
A : For the same reason that "minimum age" is used instead of what you would expect, i.e. "maximum age".
