Year 10 Day 6
Drift Ice!
I saw a little floating ice yesterday, but it was near the end of the day and in rather small pieces. Today ice grew steadily more common as I flew north, until most of the water was covered with flat pans of ice, ice with cracks, ice ridges where two sheets of ice have collided, and a few irregular masses of ice that might have broken off glaciers. From space, as I first saw it, this could well be an ice cap, albeit a floating one.
I’m not sure what shape it is. When I first saw ice, it seemed as much west as north of my flight. Perhaps I should map its extent? It would be easy enough to fly along with the denser pack to my right and the ocean water just visible to my left. I’d have to fly fairly high, but with the warm clothes I have now I could easily enough go high enough to see the edge.
At least as long as the weather stays as good as it was yesterday!

It was warm for the first time last night and we turned off the heat and opened a few windows. Of course, then it rained and now its all damp and cold in the house. But, I won’t turn that heat back on if I can help it!

We’re still in a cold phase here.
Makes me glad spring is here! (I hope!) I keep thinking there might be a snow drift lurking in the trees to remind me that winter isn’t done with us yet. 🙂
He’s looking for the ice cap. Still have 22″ in the back yard here in Interior Alaska
I can’t believe it’s still so cold in so many areas. It’s starting to warm up here though we’re still having rainy days. But we don’t get too much ice/snow in California so we can never complain!
We’re getting above freezing (barely) in the daytime.
