I guess the killer whales could not enter the Arctic when there was normal ice pack because they have such large dorsal fins. Other things that are happening in the Arctic is that trees are growing on the North Slope, salmon have started spawning in the large McKenzie River. All five species I believe.

The last I looked, and I can find the graph I think, the temperature in the Arctic was 12° above normal. A few weeks ago it was 33° in the Arctic Circle. Anchorage just broke a record of 36 days without snow and they don't know if there'll be enough for the Iditarod.

In Southeast Alaska, 2015 was the warmest and rainiest year on record. January broke the record again for heat and rain, and February is breaking the record again. There is no snow on the ground at all, the ground has thawed, and the temperature has been in the 40s most of the time in February. That is a solid 10° above normal.

The elk herds have moved up in Canada past Atlin, followed by the cougars. The deer have migrated as far north as Anchorage. Atlantic and Pacific cod are starting to move into the Arctic Ocean in large numbers. And of course the king crab that Russia planted a couple of decades ago and that also migrated to Norway have now made Norway the largest exporter of king crab surpassing Alaska.

The temperature in the Arctic and Alaska has been well above average for several years now. And we can sure see the effects of global warming up here. It is in our face.

Oh, and this is a trip, in the last five months both the northern and hemisphere have had the three strongest typhoons in the history of record-keeping. Two in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere all three would've been categorized as category seven hurricanes, although the chart stops it category five. Fiji was one 185 mph of sustained winds, Patricia that hit Mexico had 205 miles ph and the one that hit the Philippines was 181 mph.
