First ever unsupported summer crossing of the Arctic ocean commences to show first hand impact of global warming

CAPE ARTCHITESKY, Russia - Two polar explorers set off today from a remote region of Siberia on a historic trek to make the first ever unsupported summer crossing of the Arctic ocean. Lonnie Dupre and Eric Larsen will have to endure a four month, 1,240 miles (2000 km) trek of unpredictable sea ice and frigid open water. The two man team using skis and specially designed canoes left Cape Arctichesky, Siberia today and will travel across the North Pole before ending the expedition in Ellesmere Island, Canada.

Greenpeace today released new visual evidence of the impacts of climate change. Dramatic new photos of Patagonian glaciers taken by a research team on board the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise show the extent of glacier retreat this century, when compared to photos of the same glaciers taken from the same point in 1928.
