Just look at all the blood on the map from the polar bears cannibalizing each other, stranded on …. on….
Nevermind.
Don’t show this to the resident kooks, they might cry.
Try following my usual advice Steve, and zoom in on the area around the North Pole:

Can you see any holes in the ice yet?
All I can see are massive icebergs and no rowboat. They must have been crushed, but they’re not going near the pole. Instead, they’ll drag the boat over the shore or wait for a couple of weeks before getting it wet. Maybe they should have put wheels on it.
Whoa – looks like an abstract expressionist painting.
Steve seems to have finished his “white” period, and entered his “red” period instead. I’ll endeavour to follow in his illustrious footsteps. Here’s this morning’s figurative canvas, complete with numerous small holes:

Evidently the Arctic Ocean still isn’t “full of ice”?
Jim, the wind does that….
the ice that was in those holes, is now piled up downwind…making MYI
If it survives until next year?
if the wind doesn’t blow the ice out again……yes
