Polar Ice Check – Still a lot of ice up there

During our last check in, we had a look at northern Canada from the Arctic Circle to the North pole, and found we had quite a ways to go before we see an “ice free arctic” this year as some have speculated.

Today I did a check of the NASA rapidfire site for TERRA/MODIS satellite images and grabbed a view showing northern Greenland all the way to the North Pole.

There’s some bergy bits on the northeastern shore of Greenland, but in the cloud free area extending all the way to the pole, it appears to still be solid ice.

As for the polar icecap melting if you check with several of the Discovery channels you’ll see they have it as an ‘established fact’.  You see the ‘squeaky wheel’ always gets the grease and so far the ‘global warming moon-bats’ are doing all the squeaking.  You’d think they had a ‘money dog’ in this hunt.  Hmmmm!
