If you click on the link then zoom right in, as far as it will go, scan around the top right hand side you’ll see a pile ice blocks and snowy blobs. You should find a blob that’s sort of odd irregular star shape. Now if you look next to that one, at that blob towards the to right hand side, you should see a shadowy figure just below it. Now I’m sure that is Edward Snowden poking out from behind a snowdrift.
That area is too close to the pole to melt out.
