00:30The Arctic Ocean is warming incredibly rapidly, and as the Arctic warms up, this warms the rest of the world.
00:53Sea ice reflects the sun, and it's important because of that.
00:56And it's so simple, it's just the sea ice is white. I mean, that's really all it is.
01:01A lot of my preconceptions about this particular environment were based on earlier journeys to this area.
01:17In the early 2000s, you would see flows that were 20, 30, 40, 50 square kilometer flows.
01:23There are no large flows in this rate anymore.
01:28Are you stressed out at all?
01:45Well, there are only hurricane force winds. Nothing serious.
01:50We thought this was going to be, you know, kayaking every day type of trip, but it's turned into a, you know, pretty much sledging, pulling the kayaks every day.
02:07I think we should get Mike up here, guys.
02:10Don't pull. Don't pull.
02:12I did not expect the jumble and chaotic flows that we're seeing here. It's crazy.
02:19How are we going to get out of here?
02:25It's unclear.
02:28We've got immobile, messed up, ridged, and screwed up ice.
