    Giving Nature a helping hand.
    “BLOWING UP THE NORTH POLE.
    A SCHEME FOR OPENING THE ARCTIC SEA BY DYNAMITE.
    Did Nature intend the Arctic Sea to be open, and the climate moderate? And is it possible to do by means of dynamite what Nature has unaccountably omitted to do?”

    This looks like an important find, Steve. Newspaper is 1926, open water at the pole in the month of May! I wonder if any ice survived through that summer. The Ice Capades team ain’t gonna like this at all.

    P.S. Would somebody please help Mark Serreze in from the ledge of his ivory tower?
