Therefore, the ship was either at the same spot where it sank or further North when it sank.MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714540297202434542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-30461709670558147192013-09-19T10:05:37.767-07:002013-09-19T10:05:37.767-07:00Ship is trapped in ice; ice continues to drift ......Ship is trapped in ice; ice continues to drift ... for two years.<br /><br />Why would anyone suppose that the spot where the wreck was found is the same spot it sailed to freely?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-79633182778064971352010-08-27T14:23:59.873-07:002010-08-27T14:23:59.873-07:00Anonymous,

Sea ice extent varies naturally year to year and just because the following 2 years were iced-over doesn't change the fact that that spot was initially free of ice in 1853, at the end of the little ice age to boot.MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714540297202434542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-66850145150300702992010-08-27T13:07:25.481-07:002010-08-27T13:07:25.481-07:00If the ice conditions in 1853 were similar to thos...If the ice conditions in 1853 were similar to those of today, why didn't the HMS Investigator just sail free in the summer.

If you're not careful, someone might mistake you for a climate denier, which of course is the same as a holocaust denier. Holocaust denier!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
