Read Replies (3) | Respond to of 86355 It's one of these counterintuitive things associated with global warming Almost everything you spew into your posts are counter-intuitive and illogical.. Record cold.. Record snows.. Record Ice levels on the Great Lakes.. Record Sea Ice in Antarctica.. All due to Global Warming.. Melt water from summer land based glacier melt has lowered the specific gravity of the local sea, increasing the freezing point and causing more ice to freeze. You seem to have quickly (and conveniently) forgotten those ships that got stuck this past Antarctic SUMMER.. when the sea ice was STILL two standard deviations above "normal".. wattsupwiththat.com As I recall, they were attempting to re-create the voyage of a 1913 expedition.. the original of which (Mawson's Expedition), met with practically no sea ice.. So there was so little sea ice, Mawson was actually able to chart the Antarctic coastline.. Kind of a far cry from this past Antarctic summer when they couldn't even reach the coast.. Mawson’s 1911–1914 expedition successfully charted Antarctic coastline , investigated the ocean between Australia and Antarctica and examined Macquarie Island. The Toroa followed the Aurora to Macqurie Island, with supplies, 17 expeditioners, 50 sheep, and a load of coal. The Aurora held materials for living huts, wireless masts, and the motorised air-tractor sledge (originally a monoplane before it crashed). There were 31 men on theAurora . Five men were to remain on the meteorological and radio base on Macquarie Island; the remainder were divided between Mawson’s coastal Antarctic bases from which to investigate Antarctica’s secrets: Main Base at Cape Denison, Commonwealth Bay, and Western Base at Queen Mary Land. antarctica.gov.au But the MSM literally went out of it's way to avoid discussing the nature of that trapped expedition or it's comparisons to the original one.. newsbusters.org But the truth cannot be hidden for long.. no matter how forcefully your fellow intellectual Fascists attempt to censor it.
