Mostly ice free are Hudson Bay (lower right) and Barents Sea (top left).&nbsp; Center left along the Russian coastline runs the Northern Sea Route for summertime shipping from Kara Sea (top left) down through the Bering Strait.&nbsp; As you can see, some years the ice is still plentiful along this route, and other years are almost ice free.&nbsp; This year, Laptev is largely open water, while Kara (above) and Chukchi (below) still have much ice to challenge the ice breakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of interest also is the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (center right, below Greenland).&nbsp; Here is found the Northwest Passage by which intrepid sailors seek transit from the Atlantic (right) through to the Pacific by way of Bering Sea.&nbsp; Again, some years it is open and simple, and other years closed completely.&nbsp; On day 212, 2021, CAA has more ice than average, so this year could be more challenging than in other recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

rapidly and opened up a deficit to MASIE (in cyan) of ~700M km2.&nbsp; The last three weeks saw the two indices ending the month close together, slightly below average and matching 2007.&nbsp; Note that both 2019 and 2020 had much lower extents at end of July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why is this important?&nbsp; All the claims of global climate emergency depend on dangerously higher temperatures, lower sea ice, and rising sea levels.&nbsp; The lack of additional warming is documented in a post&nbsp;<a
