Melting!

Remember that North Pole webcam that I mentioned the other day?  Behind the cut is a shot of it sitting in a pool of its own meltwater.

( Cut for size )

Sure, surface melt is not uncommon in the Arctic, but it's a chilling sight, no?

Anyone got a sea kayak I can borrow?  My kayak-to-the-North-Pole plans are being brought forward by a few years.  :(
