NBC national television this morning had a report with Matt Lauer, who spoke at a Greenwich, CT High School graduation I once attended, from a reporter who spent a long time, for a reporter, in the Arctic on the Canadian Coast Guard cutter "CCGS Amundsen" currently engaged in scientific research. It reminded me of this map from June 2008. It also reminded me of the educational PBS "live" from the North Pole feed, a few years ago, when out of the "blue" that summer, a large red Russian ice-breaker, also appeared in the report. It also reminds me of a polar projection map of the world which has all the continents on a flat circle except Antarctica, I once painted in dayglo, centered on the North Pole.
