abandoned after being stuck in the ice for two years? In the back of my mind, I keep thinking that years ago I saw a movie based on this story, but it involved a treasure tale being added to the story. Kelley (Texas)

cause, according to all the science in the media, there was way too much ice for there to be a "Northwest Passage" in those days

There was a doc on Ernest Shackelton and his ship the Endurance, a great story. I'm pretty sure he's ship has not been discovered yet, though evidence has been turning up, there may be scientists involved in looking for it up here in Canada...

about "globull warming" and the Arctic ice melting They say it is open now and never was before, well they used the passage 100 odd years ago, first navigated by Amundsen 1903-1906 so the Arctic had to be warm then also and that was before we supposedly put all the carbon and CO2 in the atmosphere ......
