18 ships stranded in Arctic off Russia due to unexpected freeze

At least 18 ships are stranded in the Arctic sea ice off Russia, after an unexpected early freeze.

Some of these ships could end up being stranded for up to months as they wait for icebreakers.

This scenario took place despite the fact that recently warmer weather resulting from climate change has permitted ships to cross parts of Russia’s northern sea route without icebreakers.

This situation however changed in November. Namely, the route has frozen earlier than what was expected.

In fact, according to Barents Sea Observer, ice almost 30cm thick has spread across most of the East Siberian and Laptev seas.

In order to help ships sail through the route, Russia deployed two icebreakers to escort an oil tanker, a container ship, and multiple bulk carriers.

In addition, information indicates that Rosatom plans to address the navigation issues using four icebreakers by the end of December.

The weather was nice in Stalingrad on October 31, 1940. Didn’t even need the jacket.

I've been waiting for the latest story on 25% more ice in the Arctic last year. Watch Bearing Sea Gold and see what the prospectors think about last winter.

I've only seen one mention of the buildup of ice in the last couple of months.

An “Unexpected Freeze” in the arctic. Sure. Because who could possibly expect it to freeze in the arctic?

When your worldview is wrong and based upon myths, life is full of surprises.
