You mean bald, fat, and a coward (yellow)?
Actually, I guess he isn’t fat. But the rest….
If this pic was snapped at the Pole or even 300 miles from the pole, then what are those rugged mountains in the background? Are they land or are they pressure ridges?
MYI in the making
Actually they are pressure ridges, and not as big as they look. However remember ice is more flexible than it looks, and to have a ridge like that you need a lot of ice under water. For every foot the ice sticks up it needs to stick down nine. If those pressure ridges stick up ten feet, they stick down ninety. The ice is 100 feet thick, right there. It is like a girder of rebar in concrete, making the rest of the ice more sturdy, or so I think.
I share some of my speculations about this issue at http://sunriseswansong.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/a-laymans-observations-concerning-arctic-sea-ice-volume/
I think the ice is more sturdy this year, but that big storm up there now will test my theory.
Pressure ridges.
In other words – a shitload of ice.
But Gore insists that the Arctic is warming, sea levels are rising and we are dooooooomed!!! Again. What a bloody Al Bore.
