Ice is melting on the North Pole
Ice is melting on the North Pole
Ice - Surface melting revealed by the North Pole Environmental Observatory
Since 2002, the multi-agency USA-Japan joint project entitled "North Pole Environmental Observatory" has deployed Web Cameras along with instruments that monitor air, ice and ocean conditions. The cameras and instrumentation are deployed in Spring on an ice floe drifting southward from the North Pole (drift maps are shown below). The Web Cams provide an otherwise unobtainable view of sea ice conditions throughout the Arctic summer.

More recent information and photos are only a click away, e.g.

Stats and charts including a list of the 15 lowest minimums on record. All of them are this century.

Re: Ice is melting on the North Pole
There is some suspicion around concerning the possible cause for there not being googlemap pictures or webcame pictures available from the North Pole, while googlemap images are easily found of Antartica. Are they hiding something from us? What?Kim O'Hara wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 11:08 pmMore recent information and photos are only a click away, e.g.

"I just tried both. Google maps does not show latitudes north of 85 degrees north or south of 85 degrees south. So the North pole is not on Google maps, while large portions of Antarctica are."

Re: Ice is melting on the North Pole
Someone - and I'm not going to guess who - seems to be blissfully(?) unaware than Antarctica is a continent.
If you wanted to install a physical South Pole, you could make it the size of the Eiffel Tower and anchor it through hundreds of feet of ice to the solid bedrock. If you wanted to install a physical North Pole, put it on a boat and anchor in the right spot.

Re: Ice is melting on the North Pole
The quote is from the North Pole -discussion link given in the previous post by Norwegian and it was written by "Guido Van den Heuvel; Astronomer, science nerd, software engineer, space geek". You can look at the discussion there, it goes on and on..Kim O'Hara wrote: ↑Thu Sep 30, 2021 12:13 pm

Seriously, if you can photograph the ice-sheet on Antarctica from space, you should be able to that on the North Pole also.

Re: Ice is melting on the North Pole
This isn't a new thing. Shipping lanes are opening up and resources such as gold, diamonds, and natural gas are becoming available. Now that so much North Pole ice is going away we are already fighting over who gets to exploit the new opportunities up there.

Re: Ice is melting on the North Pole
At least we know the numbers.
Pictures are spectacular, but the ice melt level is measured and cross-checked in many ways (Wikipedia).
http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/
Definitely the space facilities that are looking towards the Earth are increasing, giving the precious data as never before.
And pictures bring any usual person an awareness and insight closer to what is going on with climate.
