Finally free of 2 meter ice in waters that are supposed to be ice free according warmists.The end is in sight for the final ice-bound ship that has been stuck off Russia's Far East coast. More than 300 crew members have endured a two-week ordeal, but are now being escorted through the frozen seas by two icebreakers. However, according to the Head of the Federal Fisheries Agency, Andrey Krainy, the convoy only covered 1.5 miles when faced another problem: breaking towing cables. “At the present time we are working through the towing techniques,” Interfax quoted him as saying. The “Admiral Makarov” and the “Krasin” had already led a smaller ship, the refrigerator vessel "Bereg Nadezhdy", to safer waters. Now both of them are in the Sea of Okhotsk rescuing a much larger supply vessel – the "Sodruzhestvo". Read the rest of the story and see the video here.. The Sea of Okhotsk is just off the far-eastern coast of Russia. Ferocious gales and very low temperatures have led to the formation of eight-meter-thick ice in some places, leaving the vessels simply unable to move. These are waters that, for some years, have shown less ice and a lot of warming. According to some, this is one of the clearest signs of man-made Global Warming. As we can now see, when the currents and winds shift, so does the sign of Global Warming. |
