In 10 min I will be boarding my flight from Tokyo to Seattle then up to Anchorage and Kodiak. Early morning on the 12th we will sail up North to the Arctic. The North West Passages will soon be open to commercial vessels as there is less and less Ice. My question to you. Is this a good or bad thing? the Arctic is such a fragile environment and until now it has been naturally protected by the ice.
