Told you so!
"The North Pole becomes an 'island' for the first time in history as
ice melts
The North Pole can now be circumnavigated for the first time in
history, sparking fears that the melting Arctic ice cap has entered a
'death spiral'.
Satellite images reveal an opening in the famed North-west and North-
east passages, with water stretching all the way round the Arctic.
Until recently both passages had been blocked by ice since the start
of the last Ice Age..."

So, warmest since the start of the last ice age about 90.000 years
ago?

I guess being able to circumnavigate the pole makes it transport-related,
but still OT, as it's not like it's circumnavigating the UK (hint: the clue
is in the newsgroup name).

Agreed that the last Ice Age was a good film, but not as good as the first
