Only a tiny section of SW Greenland remains navigable.

RSS February number is up, -0,12
That can’t be Steve. It’s been proven that the ice is going to disappear. The debate is over!
Only last night in Eureka in the Canadian Arctic the low was just barely below 60 degrees F. An early spring coming in March like that will mean certain death for our furry white friends.
Oh wait, that’s minus 60 degrees F. (-50.4C)
Never mind.

Does this mean I need another damned corrected Atlas map?
Egad. I’m running out of superglue.
Let us hope this is not the case this time, but the Little Ice Age began when sea ice began to spread to the South of Greenland as early as 1200 AD. It took another hundred years or so before the cold really started to affect Europe.
The book by Brian Fagan, “The Little Ice Age”, is well worth a read.

Then keep your eye on this:

Back when the Vikings lived there, it was obviously under 400ft (or 121.92m, if you’re a climate scientist) of ice. That’s how they got there in wood boats and lived in an ice-locked area: they had primitive Viking Turbo Beavers to airlift supplies in.
You mean they didn’t have Russian icebreakers to rescue the Vikings?
There is a lot of ice to the west of Greenland, also on the other side of the North Pole lots of ice in the Bearing.
However not much ice around the islands to the east of Greenland, that is even more unusual, not surprised it wasn’t mentioned though

Andy,
Look at the strength of the ice drift in the Barents Sea and you can see a good explanation for it being open. Also anecdotal but during WW2 Russia was supplied by sea even during winter by the brutal but quite feasible Murmansk run so an open Barents Sea is not a thing of wonder.

They probably used those nuclear powered ice breakers, satellite ice reports and GPS tracking to get the supplies through those 500 feet thick ice conditions during WWII.
Oops, spelling… thinking of polar bers….
…LOL
