make the world a better place with a bit of optimization
In open water around the North Pole
A Danish expedition has found that the Northwest and Northeast Passages in the Arctic Ocean are both ice-free
A Danish exploration team sailing around the Arctic Ocean has reported that the Northwest and Northeast Passages are simultaneously ice-free for the first time in 100,000 years.
This confirms the results of images of the area from the NASA Aqua satellite in late August.
The Polar Passage 2000 explorers set out eight years ago from Copenhagen with the aim of sailing around the perimeter of the Arctic Ocean in an open boat, powered only with outboard engines.

Ice free sailing over the North Pole. I guess this can change the world as we know it.
What is your feeling how this might change the shipping industry. Are we going to see a big trend towards ice class ships on Europe-Asia short cut routes?
