Turney later told FoxNews.com the ice surrounding his ship is old, rather than recently formed, and likely from a particular 75 mile-long iceberg that broke apart three years ago. Climate change may have prompted the iceberg to shatter and float into the previously open sea where the mostly Australian team finds itself stranded, Turney said.

Record warming..Record iceberg breakups...Record ice...Record breaking river in Egypt
The-Good-Lord-Has-A-Sense-Of-Humor BUMP.
[ actually there is more ICE in Antarctica than has ever been measured. ]
AND it is the middle of SUMMER at the south pole too!
Just when we could use a few polar bears to make their plight more interesting the closest ones are 10,000 miles away.
[ And warmists claim the reason for that is because rising temps are causing more snow to fall which becomes ice. They also say increasing sea ice is caused by wind patterns which are cause by, you guessed it, global warming. ]
Are they not admitting that the “Climate auto Correction Mechanism” exists and is compensating quite well for any warming???
Plus, Plus!!, this is the Antarctic SUMMER

Polar bears would breed like rabbits at the south pole because penguins have no natural LAND enemies....
They would eat and get quite fat at the southern penguin buffett....
If they can throw snowballs, then they haven’t been stuck long enough.
WAY too much lib CO2 output for this whole trip.
“Will they “Slip the surly bonds of ice to touch the face of Gaia?””
Nice.
GOD’s sense of humor is.........
Notice the leftist environmentalists always classify the ice they don’t want to see as it’s only THIN ICE. Or it’s only OLD ICE. The fact is it’s summer time and these frauds are stuck in 12’ of ice and no amount of propaganda can spin them out of that.
That would be an interesting invasive species event.
Maybe they can get a copy of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring on Amazon Kindle books and read and discuss it for entertainment.
Their behavior tells me that they didn't actually study recent data on the region at all. They were charting their course on belief alone. Why plan for ice when I believe the ice is gone, no matter what satellite photos or other data show, if I looked at that sort of thing?
“It’s old ice.” LOL. That’s hilarious.
That’s not ice, it’s the carcasses of a million drowned polar bears.
