British explorer Pen Hadow and his crew have set sail from Alaska, in an attempt to become the first people ever to sail to the North Pole.
With Arctic ice melting at an unprecedented rate, previously inaccessible waters are opening up, creating the potential for their planned 5,500 km (3,500 mile) journey for the first time in human history.

He's another gonna be shocked and need rescuing real soon...

[h=1]Winter Comes Early To The Arctic – Greenland Gains 33% Above Normal Ice[/h][FONT=&quot]Posted on August 17, 2017 by tonyheller[/FONT]
Winter has arrived about 10 days early in the Arctic, and Greenland’s surface has gained 500 billion tons of ice – about 33% above normal.

It is silly, and dangerous, the minimum level of sea ice is around 4 million square kilometers,
Some quick math says that is an area of ice with a diameter of over 2000 km.
Assuming the pole is somewhere in that 2000 km diameter circle, it would not be safe
to take a non ice class hull ship into the ice.

I guess they don't believe the facts, until they experience them first-hand...
