[XemaSab]

7. Ding ding ding ding!

It wasn't there yesterday; we'll see if it's still there tomorrow.

All the red patches between Iceland and Svalbard were not there at all day before yesterday, they first appeared yesterday, and they're bigger and more prominant today.

[tekisui]

2. Do I have to blur my vision?

3. Is it that the Arctic is completely open water now? nt

Running down the road at night, Full Moon.

[Dead_Parrot]

12. Ice, numbnuts. nt

[phantom power]

13. Then we're boned, dear Liza, dear Liza

15. Kick in the sore red spot

:kick:

[phantom power]

16. Well, it looks like it isn't going away. It's getting bigger.

Abby. Abby somebody.

[Systematic Chaos]

17. Oh holy mother of Dog....

Um... how long has it been since the North Pole hasn't been covered in ice? :(

[Dead_Parrot]

18. Could this just be an artifact?

It's acquired a rather funky shape, and I can't see it on the bremen images...

Warning: big pics! I've (hopefully) broken the links, use copy & paste.

19. It does kinda have a funny "look" to it.

I'm holding out that it's not really as bad as the image would indicate... yet. :evilgrin:

[XemaSab]

22. Yeah, but that MASSIVE hole out by the Pribilofs

doesn't look like an artifact. :P

[Dead_Parrot]

23. True, but 56 deg N I can cope with

It's further south than Aberdeen...

(OK, so it shouldn't be there, but its not the end of the world. Yet)

Hmmm. Pollyanna or Polynya, that is the question...

20. What the heck is that? Has Santa Claus put up the force fields?

Is there some war going on that we don't know about?
