Nothing in article about the purpose of the mission being to study global warming? It was only to clear a channel?
“Nothing in article about the purpose of the mission being to study global warming?”
The USCG vessel is not going there to study globull warming. it was a research vessel [a former Russian vessel, i believe] carrying climate change “scientists” to Antarctica to try to assess the impact of AGW on the levels of ice there that got trapped, and was unable to be freed by a Chinese icebreaker that went there earlier. i’m not sure, and wonder, if the Chinese icebreaker is still stuck in that region as well.
