Vast cracks appear in Arctic ice

i believe that the arctic circle is warming up because not only from global warming but from a trend that is coming from the sun....is there anyone that can make a comment besides golbal compustion gasses that are poluting... lets think here...

At the arctic circle the ice is over ten feet thick and wont even start to melt untill the end of july.

whats that last call at Peanuts Bar?

It will be interesting to see the rate of melt over the summer.

Unless the tundra is showing it wont melt much.
It's pretty facinating where it does melt zip,as soon as some color shows and the sun hits it the melting starts,because the ground wont take any water(permafrost)it runs straight to the lakes/oceans and the meltwater takes down the snow in a matter of days. The outside of the 10 foot thick ice on the lakes then melts in 2 days and the wind blows the rest around smashing it to bits and the lake will be clear. This is 50 miles from the circle and the landscape go's from all snow and ice to no snow or ice in a week and wont happen untill the end of july.

but even in the short summer that ends in september the ground will remain frozen unless you pull back the moss and expose the dark dirt to the sun.Natures insulation.

They sent me a boss once who asked me to pull an explosive mag 2 miles out on the tundra because the rules say explosives have to be kept that far from camp and it involved dragging a big metal shed on skids across virgin tundra with a cat and skidder.I asked him a dozen times if he really wanted to do that and he got pissed and said yes. The next day there were two rivers running down the tracks made by the skids as they ripped the moss off the ground.

Pictures were taken,reports filled out,it was a mini enviro disaster.
5000 years from now there will be two huge rivers flowing where those ruts were.

when you think of melting in the arctic you cant compare it to melting in the south here but that's what most do including me untill I saw it.
Strange shit but a pretty simple process.snow reflects the heat from the sun,any color will start the melting process,running meltwater increases it.
Very delicate balance mother nature has there and it doesnt take much to fuc* it up.

Yeah, I hear there's a problem up there parking of fuel barges on the lakes and rivers for the winter. The break-up is apparently a little harder now and one guy from the Alaskan North Slope said he was worried the ice was going to bust up a fuel barge.

There was 7 frozen in from Rankin inlet to Churchill when I flew out in February.and about 15 just dumped the c-cans at wherever they could and headed back to thunder bay.
Then they build ice roads to them and haul it inland.
They will put barges in over winter for fuel in the small community's but theres no ports,just a huge concrete ramp they park it next to.We had a barge full of Agnico eagles brand new ford powerstrokes sittong in Baker lake for the winter,the locals got in and played smash up derby with them.You had to be there.

Those barges will be froze in untill late june.
