The team aims to gather data to complement satellite and submarine observations to measure the sea ice and plot how fast it is disappearing during their 850-kilometer (530-mile) trek.

Global warming is believed to be the main culprit in the rapidly melting north polar ice cap that is freeing up new sea routes and untapped mineral resources on the ocean bottom.

They better get out of there quickly! That ice is gonna be gone by Sunday with this type of melting going on.

My wife is hotter than your wife.

85 days at the north pole sounds pretty hard core to me. I can see how waiting for a late resupply could suck.
