#2 "There was no sun to charge her solar-powered phone and her sleeping bag was sopping wet. The clincher was the fact that insurance cover for two members of the party would expire if the journey was delayed, and it would have become too expensive to evacuate them if things went wrong."

ROFLMAO.

How the hell did Amundsen, Byrd, Lewis & Clark, Colombus, and all the other explorers of the past even mount (let alone finish) their expeditions without evacuation insurance and solar telephones?

Oh yeh, that's right - they were explorers, not self-important, self-indulgent, uninformed dilettantes.

When's she going to get around to Blaming Bush™?

#3 Sounds like God had a good laugh at the expense of another self-appointed god.

#4 SNowing today in Colorado - several mountain passes are closed due to blizzard conditions. Many passes opening later than normal due to the extreme cold and extra snow we got up there this year.

Did Al Gore winter up there this year?

GWMA™! (Global Warmin My Ass).

#5 In 1982 while I was stationed in Greenland, I interviewed a group of Brit adventurers who had done pretty much the same thing, successfully - crossing from east to west, over the ice-cap roughly along the Arctic circle. They, however, very sensibly performed this feat in the summer months - not the dead of winter!
They had gone on cross-country skis, and pulled their gear on sledges, if memory serves. I do remember asking them how they navigated and being rocked at their answer - they just took a bead every day when the regular daily SAS flight flew overhead, and took care to head in more or less the same direction.
They had a blast, doing this - it was just a very long camping trip for them.

#6 Mom: you can't blame the poor dears, they're from the southern hemisphere, and obviously got confused about which season it was in the ARCTIC.

#7 When it's hot, it's Anthropogenic Global Warming.
When it's cold, it's a SIDE EFFECT of Anthropogenic Global Warming.
