   And the article continues…

   “The expedition sailed as far
   north as 81deg. 20min. N. latitude in ice
   free water. Such a thing, hitherto, would
   have been deemed impossible.”

   Looks like that’s about 1 degree further South than the ice edge today.

   And it may have been a lot different in the past. But “real scientist” wouldn’t wont to look there.

     A few minutes ago you were complaining that you couldn’t see the ice edge in today’s satellite photo. The satellites in 1923 were much better.

     How come your map shows no ice on Greenland? I fly over it regularly and promise you it is covered in ice up to altitudes as high as 14,100′ for the greater portion of the island. It is a massive ice block.

       I think the highest point on Greenland is less than 10,500 feet.
