   So, are the people of Finland that dumb, or did they really buy the “Arctic melting” meme? I guess I should have stated it otherwise…………. stupid or naive? Oh hell, that’s wrong, too. It could be that this occurs every winter and they anticipate such stuff.

     The Swedish authorities are that dumb. They sent one of the largest Swedish icebreakers, the Odin, to Antarctica on a “scientific” cruise this winter. Last year too.

       And here you can see that the ice extent is lower than normal.

       Left side is current. Right side is normal.

         So what you are saying is that the ice is thicker than normal.

       So that’s why – ” it is the first time in recent memory that a nuclear-powered icebreaker has been sent to work in the busy Gulf of Finland.”

       The thickness and condition of ice is normal as it is said here (in finnish):

       The normal ice requires using ice breakers at this time of year. If russians don’t use them, it if their problem. Mayby the russians should give our lands back that they took attackting to Finland on Word War II. People of Finland could keep the ice breakers in operation.

       Jussi thanks for the link!

       It is funny that it is Russian ships that are stuck.
       Does this happen every year to them?

   Yeah, but they’re stuck only because of the cyclone, which of course was caused by the extreme warmcold..

   It is rotten ice and they only think they are stuck because all the deniers are claiming this is a cold year when in fact the weather is rather “Tropical” in that region! 😉 Look at the warm temperatures on the temperature map.

   They’re not stuck, they’re just pining for the fjords.
