~ Amazing degradation of sea ice tidal ridging zone in one year
This was the sea ice picture of 2023-24, the freezing in place of new sea ice, a huge area, not destroyed by daily tidal ridging, the black area North of Axel Heiberg Island (the Island with Fjords at right)
December 23 2023 Polar View High Resolution image of a huge area of sea ice lasting all winter. A first in the corrupted by AGW Arctic Ocean sea ice. Although winter 2024-25 has not as large fast thin ice area at freeze up, over all sea ice condition is worse in a vaster expanse: Same area onset of winter freeze, December 3 2024, but there is an even greater cumulative area of thinner and broken up sea ice, giving a loose pack ice look North of NW Canadian Archipelago Islands. This is a view of the last stand of Arctic Ocean summer sea ice, before there are none in summer, what is left of the thickest sea ice is badly broken up. I suspect that next December 2025 will look even more grim. This area has great tides from The Northwest, ensuring ridging or the thickening sea ice by the sheer weight of massive sea ice folding ice sheets on top of each other, but if the greater Arctic Ocean pack ice is equally thinner the ridging mega push looses strength as was the case for winter 2023-24 Heat radiation gained to the atmosphere by much depleted, thinned Arctic Ocean sea ice is enormous. This significant feature will reduce the shape and extent of the coldest Northern Atmosphere (The Polar Vortex) during winter will affect the climate of every Northern Hemisphere location.
