H/T @Klaus Dodds | Faculty Dean, public speaker, geopolitical analyst, and strategic adviser.
“The story they tell is one of conflicting interests, outside involvement, rapidly escalating climate change, resources rushes, resumed militarization and political shifts that tore at the fabric of the northern concordance that once seemed so promising, leaving uncertainty and perilous standoffs in its wake.”

“… In 1996 the Arctic Council was formed, composed of the United States, Russia, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, as well as Indigenous organizations representing the Inuit, Athabascan, Saami, Aleut, Gwich’in and Indigenous peoples of the Russian north.
In the headily optimistic days of the 1990s, when liberal democratic governance and the free movement of goods and peoples seemed to be the fate of all the world, the term “Arctic Exceptionalism” emerged. The North, it was proclaimed, was indeed a zone of peace, setting an example for all the world to follow.
Within a few years it all came tumbling down.
How a promise all but taken for granted proved to be little more than empty words is the topic of [this book]…
The story [the authors] tell is one of conflicting interests, outside involvement, rapidly escalating climate change, resources rushes, resumed militarization and political shifts that tore at the fabric of the northern concordance that once seemed so promising, leaving uncertainty and perilous standoffs in its wake…”

Here’s a Mastodon version centred on the article’s strongest image and argument.
A small change to Vector Weather put a yellow line around the Arctic sea-ice edge.
Behind it are open scientific data, Canadian satellites, ice analysts, twenty pull requests, and one stubborn bug at the North Pole to tell us what's lobe been Inuit knowledge,
The line is practical navigation data. It is also a measure of what Canada imagines, values, and is steadily losing as climate change lengthens the time the Northwest Passage is ice free.

My little side-project has just appeared on Amazon.com...
What happens when you own a little publishing company, and you discover that a classic of polar exploration is filled with beautiful colour illustrations and appendices that may not have been published since the 1820s?
You get a new deluxe edition of Sir John Franklin's Journey to the Polar Sea (with a hardcover coming as well):

The sea relentlessly froze around our convoy, tightly squeezing the ships' hulls, as if it was testing our resolve. The other ships were holding formation, their tall masts and limp sails dark against the brooding grey sky. We had been entrusted with mapping new shores and documenting new species, financed by men who expected their names to be remembered forever, with ours only featuring as footnotes. Yet, our minds only thought about fuel and food, and storms that could spoil both. We each commanded our own ship, yet we were bound together by the same horizon, as we made our way Through Ice and Snow by Fernando Eduardo Sánchez from @2tomatoesgms with art by Pedro A. Alberto and Araceli Martín.

RE: https://mas.to/@Canadian_Eh/115595599373622799
This expedition got lost, but the following numerous search expeditions explored and mapped the Arctic Archipelago. Captain McClure of #HMSInvestigator (with the interpreter #Miertsching on board) found the #NorthwestPassage in 1850.

The search expeditions for Franklin helped a lot to map the Northern coast of today's Canada. For instance #HMSInvestigator under McClure with #Miertsching on Board.

Ob das einer der "allerliebsten bunten Schmetterlinge" (siehe www.trimaris.de/2025/08/21/miertsching-und-die-schmetterlinge) war, die der Oberlausitzer Sorbe #Miertsching in der hohen Arktis auf Banks Island sehen konnte? Diese Tigermotte Apantesis [Grammia] philipiana ist äußerst selten, ein Wunder, dass dieses Bild gelang.

Trump will threaten #Panama, but he's not bright enough to know the #panamacanal may have already lost most of its value.
Even if he wants to buy #Greenland, he's doesn't have the mental bandwidth to know its the Danes who have the upper hand there...

the northwest passage is as good as open
so, just in time to use force, or do something else stupid, Donny is late to the party: the canal may have lost its significance because of the #climatechange Donny can't admit because of his base...

I follow this #Finnish couple Juho and Sohvi who are #sailing around #Canada through the #northwestpassage . This is their latest episode;

I recommend watching from the beginning of the channel as well where Juho lived aboard in northern #norway through winter, skiing a lot. And lots of beautiful #DronePhotos #AlluringArcticSailing

@maritimesmuseum
Niels Windekilde Jannasch, founding and long-time director of the Canadian Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax, had sailed on the Passat after World War II.
Btw he was the grandson of Johann August #Miertsching who was involved in the finding of the #NorthwestPassage during the search for the lost #FranklinExpedition -
Im handschriftlichen Original seiner arktischen "Reisebeschreibung" fanden wir nicht nur den hochinteressanten Text, sondern sogar mehr - ausführlicher auf unserem Blog.
Happy Birthday, Johann August Miertsching!

Climate change: Thick sea ice flowing from Arctic Ocean shortening shipping season in #NorthwestPassageNB there shouldn't be any #shipping season in the NW passage, because it wasn't really passable before the #ClimateCatastrophe kicked in.
