No more pics of melting ice
(North
Pole Camera 2 goes for a swim during the summer of 2013 as a period
of extensive near-polar melt set in. Most indicators show that ice
conditions at the North Pole this summer were as bad or worse. Image

In 2013 during the melt season it was photos like this of buoys at the north pole that helped my to understand what was happening at the North Pole (thanks to Robertscribbler and his reporting)
I
had wondered why we had not been treated to any more photos like
this.
This
sentence from Robertscribbler's latest article explains:
"Unfortunately,
sea ice buoy observations near the North Pole have seen cuts to
research funding and no camera buoys are operating near the Pole"
