Red shows ice extent loss since August 7, green shows gain. High pressure has been creating winds which are compacting the ice in the Chukchi, East Siberian and Laptev Seas, and will continue to do so for at least a few more days.

Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

And then there’s this issue:
“Up to 20% of collared polar bears located on ice that officially does not exist, says the PBSG”

Speaking of which, how are our intrepid NW Passage sailors going? Oh, they’ve given up – Quitters!
As this was the place where we had reached the northernmost point of our
current voyage (74° 41’N), the crew of Suilven (John and Linda Andrews,
and Max Bentley) produced two bottles of champagne to celebrate not only
this symbolic landfall, but also to bid us farewell. The tardy opening
of the Northwest Passage, and the prospect of a late arrival in the
Pacific, had persuaded them to spend the rest of the summer in Greenland
and Newfoundland and possibly give the Northwest Passage another try
next year.
