While Eli's Away, the Arctic's That Way
Hi Gang,
Eli is out on the flatlands and yes he has been neglecting his duties, but there are a couple of interesting things this year in the Arctic. For one thing although the melt is not as large as in some other years, it is continuing quite late in the season
For another, the Northern Sea Route is wide open, with container ships making the transit and, very strangely, the Northwest Passage opened up late in September after being jammed all summer. Even the main channel threatened to open up
That's September 15.

Looks like ice extent is growing again as of Sept 25. Winter is coming.
The lower ice extent sure helps the oil and gas export operations from the Pechora and Kara seas. Russians will be shipping lots more LNG in future years.
Making for a good example of an amplifying feedback, Fern.
