Earlier this week, Cryosat released data showing that Arctic ice is much thicker than the slush in the PIOMAS computer model. Here is a first person account from a Norwegian who attempted to canoe to the pole.
After 13 days cancel Cecilie Skog attempt reach the North Pole with a canoe.
“There is really no disgrace,” is the title of the blog post North Pole expedition Cecilie Skog and Rune Gjeldnes published on Ut.no Tuesday.
Ålesund, the woman thought they had a realistic timetable to be first to reach the North Pole in summer without the addition of supplies.
– If we continue north now, so can the consequence be that we set in motion a rescue operation in the middle of the Arctic Ocean about 4-5 weeks, and we do not want, they write on the Expedition blog Tuesday.
– Brash ice
The expedition had an appointment with an icebreaker to get them at 90 degrees north on 27 July. However, because ice conditions were worse than expected, and leads to paddle did not materialize, they have the past few days only managed to leave behind the daily distances of around ten miles.
Forest believes that this is only half of what they should do in this phase of the trip. In recent days, Forestry and Gjeldnes described how they have fought their way through ice, slush and water, under very strenuous conditions.
– It’s brash ice in front of us for hundreds of kilometers, and it does not appear that it will change significantly with the first, they write.
In 2008, Lewis Pugh tried a similar stunt based on a mis-prediction from another Arctic expert.

Such amazing scientific analysis! Yes, these disparate anecdotes strung together willy nilly will cast out the demons of reality from certain troubled souls.
Wake me up in 2020 so I can could jetski there.
Cryosat is anecdotal?
Everything that does not fit the agenda is anecdotal. If it fits it is “Robust” no matter how insignificant!!!
Today was warmer than yesterday and at this rate I will be boiled soon. It rained yesterday but none today so the trend is toward drought conditions.
Ill wind blowing,
You seen Tony Duncan lately?
Wake me up in 2020 so I can could jetski there.
Why, that sounds very nearly like a bet. Care to make it interesting?
The “disparate” historical anecdotes strung together by Steven add up to a formidable repudiation to the warmist claims of unprecedented and “worst than we thought” climate and weather related events. In other words, today’s weather and climate is normal and natural. Ill Wind would rather trust in proxy data put through the meat grinder of bizarre Mann-ipulation, Playstation computer models and post-normal “scientists” who believe “hide the decline” is a legitimate data presentation technique. Jetski to the pole in 2020: perhaps a more appropriate handle for Ill Wind would be “Ill wind blowhard”.
Aye, yet their hearts be warm!
