Passenger Ships Stuck in Ice Off Sweden
CNN ^ | March 4, 2010 | Per Nyberg and Claudia Rebaza

Thirty to 40 ships -- including several passenger ships -- were stuck Thursday in ice off the coast of Sweden, said a spokesman for the Maritime Search and Rescue Center in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The area of the Baltic Sea worst hit by the ice were the waters bounded by mainland Sweden, the Stockholm archipelago and the Finnish island of Aland, said Tommy Gardebring, press officer with the Swedish Maritime Administration.

Several passenger vessels from Viking Line were stuck, he said. One of them had been freed.

"It has been a lot colder than normal in the southern parts of the Baltic sea, but in the north all is normal with normal levels of ice," Gardebring said.

I wonder how many of these are eco-tourists who went to observe the melting polar caps for themselves.

Just wait until the polar bears starving because of the lack of ice walk from shore to ship and start eating passengers.

Dec 15, 2009 Gore: Arctic summer ice ‘gone in five years’

Hmmm ... I’m not sure that “gone” means what Gore thinks it means.

No worries!
The USS Global Warming can steam northward to assist the stranded people.
In the meantime, I'll burn garbage in my backyard to help.
