Around the arctic ocean for years. Back then, floes grew to be so large that passages like nares strait were often blocked for months or even years at a time. These floes are too thin to withstand collisions with other floes. Theres isnt anything big enough here to plug nares strait. To me, its alarming. In this area theres nothing that stops sea ice from escaping the arctic ocean. Yeah, you see this big mumbojumbo of ice, you think hmm, might be sledging today not just sledging, but lifting kayaks, fully loaded kayaks, thats the part. You see how were going to go across there, thats going to just aghhh alright, so the one thing we want to be careful of here is actually that we dont damage the boats, right . Steves got a ton of experience with this place and i think even he is just baffled right now. And as its going down, youre just going to ease it down as much as you can. Ahh, watch yourself. We thought this was going to be kayaking every day, but its turned into pretty much sledgin
I dont know i cant get there. Im heading back to one of the most remote places in the world. The polar inuit left these lands nearly a thousand years ago, and these shores have been wild and uninhabited ever since. Today, scientists are trying to make sense of this region mainly by using data theyve collected from satellites. But how do you comprehend a frozen ocean from the sky . Well be landing 500 nautical miles from the north pole, right on the doorstep of the last ice area. a unique place where oceanographers predict the oldest and thickest sea ice can be found. Our plan is to survey the sea ice, to see for ourselves how accurate their predictions are. Pilot so, were making a pass and well look at those those big cracks going across the strip. And then, uh, well come in to land. So, uh, just brace yourself. Wahoo okay, diana, im just going to hand it down to you. A decade ago, i worked with friends in greenland to make a documentary film. What people there wanted the world to know
