The Arctic rowers have this image on their web site. They think the Arctic doesn’t have any ice.

Oh please, those are just clouds. 😉
Those clouds are cleverly tracking the edge of the land.

Oh please, are you really that blind and stupid?
Oh crap .. sorry, didn’t see the wink! …hehehe .. got it!
Ha. No worries.
hehe .. i’m such a stupid … 😉
I spent quite a bit of time up there in the 70’s doing the DEW Line thingy and if these guys stay within 100 yards of shore they should be able to pick their way around the grounded ice sheets and make some headway.
If they try to go straight line, point to point, they better bring crampons for their canoe.
The latest failure in attempting a crossing to the South Pole ended miserably in defeat with lost fingers via frostbite, but at least they didn’t get eaten by penguins…
This latest mission from the Greek primordial deity (Gaia) has the potential for a meal ticket serving to a larger mammal:)
Too bad these rowing dudes weren’t around in the Early Holocene when the Arctic was ice free in Summers. Of course ice free Summers were common then so they wouldn’t have a cause to row for then.
I don’t get it. How the hell can these people claim they are “crossing the Arctic in a canoe” ? … By the map and route they are showing, they aren’t crossing a damn thing. WTF is this? What a joke … this is beyond asinine stupid.
You’re right. Tracking the Arctic looks like this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2327494/Crossing-worlds-terrifying-terrain–giant-red-bus-Eight-intrepid-explorers-people-DRIVE-Russia-Canada-North-Pole.html
I mean “crossing”
Why do they look so cold? With the dipole and the blowtorch and all that stuff Reggie keeps pointing out, they should be in their bermudas having a blast, not huddled in a diesel (fossil fuel) powered vehicle.
EXACTLY!! … now, do THAT in a row boat, and I will be impressed. At any time of year. The only way you are going to do it is if your row boat is strapped to the top of your monster truck!
Maybe they should buy this guy’s self made ATV and call it a canoe:
