Why is the ice increasing when they say it's so warm? | |||
|
<Jeremy J.> |
Area........ not volume. Sure was warm in Canada this winter huh? | ||
<Jeremy J.> |
BTW, it's still below average....... and apparently dropping at the end of that graph. | ||

1958 Newsreel: USS Skate, Nuclear Sub, Is First to Surface at North Pole ED HERLIHY, reporting: USS Skate heads north on another epic cruise into the strange underseas realm first opened up by our nuclear submarines. Last year, the Skate and her sister-sub Nautilus both cruised under the Arctic ice to the Pole. Then, conditions were most favorable. The Skate’s job is to see if it can be done when the Arctic winter is at its worst, with high winds pushing the floes into motion and the ice as thick as twenty-five feet. Ten times she is able to surface. Once, at the North Pole, where crewmen performed a mission of sentiment, scattering the ashes of polar explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins. In 1931, he was the first to attempt a submarine cruise to the Pole. Now, the Skate’s twelve-day three thousand mile voyage under the ice, shown in Defense Department films, demonstrates that missile-carrying nuclear subs could lurk under the Polar Ice Cap, safe from attack, to emerge at will, and fire off H-bomb missiles to any target on Earth. A powerful, retaliatory weapon for America’s defense. http://www.icue.com/portal/sit...tview/?cuecard=41751 What was the "volume" in 1958? | |||

The Northwest Passage was not conquered by sea until 1906, when the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who had sailed just in time to escape creditors seeking to stop the expedition, completed a three-year voyage in the converted 47-ton herring boat Gjøa, after three winters trapped in ice. At the end of this trip, he walked into the city of Eagle, Alaska, and sent a telegram announcing his success. Although his chosen east–west route, via the Rae Strait, contained young ice and thus was navigable, some of the waterways were extremely shallow (3 feet, or 1 meter, deep) making the route commercially impractical. | |||

You do realize Rae Strait is 1500 miles from the North Pole right? | ||

Well, in 1940 Henry Larsen was the second to sail the passage. In 1944 his return trip took an even more nothernly route than Admundsen's trip, and he did it in less than three months. | |||

Your link about the USS Skate documents breaking through 25 feet of ice. In 2001 the thickness of the ice at the NP was measured between 2.3-2.6 meters between 2001-2004. In 2007 it was measured at 1.3 meters. | ||
