   Picture orientation is West(ish) is up. Our intrepid adventurers are off the image to the West (up) and possibly South. Where do you find these?

   Maybe Mainstream can use one of their wind turbine powered helicopters or their solar powered ice breakers to go in there and rescue those poor boys.

     They did have their own WordPress site but it seems to have been less than popular. Once the bird shredders got involved, with naming rights, they upgraded to Mainstream.

   Forecast for the week keeps a Beaufort high in place with lower pressure over the Pole. Temps will remain on the cooler side in the Beaufort Sea region.

   Forecast beyond this has lower pressure becoming more dominant across the Basin for the latter part of July with temps still on the cooler side. Look for this type of fluid pattern to continue with high and low pressure taking turns dominating the Basin for the rest of the season.

   The ice will just keep on circulating around with very little transport out the Fram Strait.
