It came as quite an shock when I read that it had been Raining at the North Pole!.To be raining at the North Pole was impossible, unbelievable!!?.
But it was true, having been verified by a group of research scientist, actually at the North Pole,
were caught in the rain without their umbrellas.
I had a second shock when I read in the same article, that for
the first time in recorded history an small American sailing boat had traversed The North West Passage from Nova Scotia to Alaska, using wind power alone.
The North West Passage has never ever been traversed unless it was by an Ice breaker. Wow, but thats not all.
My third shock came when these same scientists watched with amazement when
their thermometers recorded a day temperature high of 22C (70F) during their July expedition at the High Artic camp.
The Scientist involved included Professor Scott Lamoureux, Doctor Walt Meir, US National Snow and ice Data Centre. Davis Carlson, director of International Polar Year, and research scientist, Shari Gearheard, with others.
Guess I'd better let you all read this for yourselves.
'cause you hav'nt heard the last of this
