He obviously isn’t keeping up with the latest expert opinion, which says that sea level will quickly rise 20 metres and wash his time capsule away.

When are the climate scientists going to get it right and stop looking at faulty climate models and look at all the past data people have kept records of for thousands of years The earths climate Bible of is out there just not all in one place like the Bible. That guy, Arctic Rower placed his time capsule in one already, a grave ssite from past exployers or native people?
Looks like driftwood to me. If so, let’s hope he placed that time capsule up way higher so no baby seals might choke on it
Climate Criminals will only relent when the money stops.
Let’s see. He believes sea level is rising precipitously, but hides the time capsule under a rock at sea level for his daughter to come back and find it in 15 or 20 years. Makes logical sense… if she wants to be a scuba diver.
Nothing about AGW belief is logical. It’s a ball of confusion, contradictions and lies.
Nah. Just lies 😉
They may run into some very bad luck if they were graves of past explorer’s or especially natives. Looks like graves to me.
I don’t want them to die or be hurt, just use common since.
It was the site of a home for those that lived in the area. Probably a winter hunting lodge.
Not balmy enough to stay 😉
It looks like storm-tossed waves effects. Or the graves of boomerang-shaped giants…
Someone asked for a list of ships earlier. Is this the one?
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shiplocations.phtml
Thanks can not get it to work on Mobil, will try latter on computer. I saw a site few years ago where Poole tracked large vessels like the discovery one look ink for sunken treasure, that may be the site.
It downloads on my computer. Thanks. I can count 16 ships (icebreakers?) between north Alaska and Canada and the Pole. 16 ships crunching up the ice. Do you suppose that effects the ice melt at all?
Hmm. Good question for a post. http://sunriseswansong.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/do-icebreakers-speed-up-arctic-ice-melt/
The numbers, like 48519 are weather bouys.
Thanks. Big mistake on my part.
OS8154 is a “large sailing vessel” http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shipposition.phtml?call=OS8154
Thanks. I see I have a lot to learn about the ship locating site. I tend to leap before I look, sometimes. However that is definitely a cool site.
Ship OS8154 is called “Le Manguier” – picture here:

FLAO is a weather ship that always sits where it is (in port). I can’t find anything on the Arctic Joule. The implication is that they haven’t
got a registered callsign and are not reporting their position (with that callsign).
“50 Let Pobedy” is a large (the largest?) nuclear-powered Russian ice breaker, and was at the North Pole yesterday.
http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shipposition.phtml?call=UGYU
It seems to be heading back to Murmansk now. http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/shipdetails.aspx?mmsi=273316240
If I’m ever rich I’ll hire you to do my research.
🙂
Steve Do story on Ice breakers.. Scientist must love breaking up the ice.
And they wonder why the ice breaks up, Russian ice breaker at the north pole. Little odd and destructive to the ice. Not cold enough to re freeze this time of year.
Caleb,
Below the map is the list of ships and BUOYS!!! All the 5 digit numbers are buoys, not ships.
Thanks. “Sleepsalot” already alerted me to my blunder.
Apologies for piling on. Was going through my mail and didnt’t look before jumping in.
So, let me see if I understand: His daughters will need to travel thousands of miles to a place far from civilization and extremely hostile to human life…. to read a (touching?) message about climate fantasies? I see driftwood in the chosen location. Without a beacon, it isn’t likely they’ll be able to find anything. And it isn’t likely to be in the same area, or intact.
If he was serious, he would put the GPS in the tube and wire it to his solar panel.
Solar panels are good for 25 years, and the girls will be old enough by then.
However if the panels were made in China, they’ll be good for 6 months, but they will to help as an anchor to keep it in place.
Now there’s a good idea, use the solar panel as an anchor… I hear they’re missing one !
These guys should make appointments with a shrink, or should have before this trip where they’ve now drifted into a seemingly insane like condition…
One may say that they were driven insane by AGW, and I’d say it’s a true statement.
Looks like a small camel in the background of that photo. Is that what they are using to tow the boat along the shore?
It’s a donkey, they’re all donkeys.
He is only guessing it is a Dorset site. Up that high, it could even be an “Independence 1 Culture” site. They were the first we know of to explore the arctic, after the ice age. As they roamed the coasts the sea was largely ice-free. The winters were just as sunless and long, even if it was warmer, so what did they use for fuel? Apparently driftwood. With so many rivers pouring into an ice-free arctic, they apparently had driftwood to burn. Driftwood is pretty rare up there, now.
I’ll bet they wish it was as warm now as it was way back then.
He sounds homesick. He’d better get a move on. Summer doesn’t last forever, you know, especially in the arctic.
I wonder if anyone will complain about him disturbing a historical site?
Someone needs to find that “time capsule”, and add information to it – let his daughter know just how big a fool her father was to think the ice was all gone.
Has he posted the GPS location anywhere?
It was twilight/dark for about 3.5 hours last night and it will be dark 13 minutes longer tonight.

The longer nights are reminding them that it’s going to be getting colder now and they are way behind schedule. Their dreams of a glorious success are fading with the sunlight.
“… Their dreams of a glorious success are fading with the sunlight…”
This is starting to sound sad, very sad.
Get out of there you stupid morons!!
“Sheltering the bay to the east is a small hillside of shattered limestone stacked in benches”
Hmmm. Limestone. From the skeletons of marine creatures long ago.
Yes, I know, plate tectonics can raise the land and this doesn’t necessarily mean sea level was that high in the past. But I wonder if that guy has an appreciation for geology and long time scales.
Leaving a message is a premonition of disaster
It’s hard to understand why people value their own lives so little sometimes.
One of them seems to have a family, a daughter, and this is beyond my comprehension. Why they do that?
