At 89º N, a day from our goal of reaching the geographic North Pole, we crossed paths with this nuclear powered icebreaker. Impressive, it can turn on a dime. It took 15 seconds for it to disappear.
今年は早くも梅雨の長雨になりそうです。
冬から私たちを楽しませてくれていたノースポールもそろそろ終わりの時を迎えます。
細く伸びた茎に華奢な花が五月の光を浴びて輝いています。
It looks like it will be a long rainy season as early as this year.
The North Pole, which has been entertaining us since winter, is about to end.
Delicate flowers shine in the light of May on the thin stems.

Expedition guides marking boundaries, gangway set, we were almost ready for a celebratory walk on ice at the Geographic North Pole. Note, champagne would soon be on the ice.
The northern lights were out briefly tonite, so grabbed the camera and took a few shots.

Forming colonies keep penguins warm and protected, Not only do these colonies provide warmth, but they also provide protection against any potential predators.
Penguins make great partners, These sea birds are known for their mating habits particularly because penguins tend to stay with their partners for many years, sometimes even for life. In this dual-parent household, the mother and father penguin share in the duties of raising chicks.
Like all birds, penguin chicks hatch from eggs. Some penguin species build nests while others in cold climates incubate their eggs by keeping them on top of their feet and beneath a fatty layer of skin.
The biggest threat to penguins is the same one affecting all animals, including humans: climate change. With polar ice caps melting and the overall temperatures of the oceans rising, penguins are in grave danger.

Heading south from the North Pole at around 89º North, I was surprised to see how fragile the sea ice was - an obvious sign of climate change. Surface temperature was just around 30º F or minus 1º C. This is a view of sea ice our ship broke up.

This is the stairway to the second story of the Old Mission lighthouse, built in 1870. The stairs get much steeper and narrower after the second floor!

And and and don't worry, everyone.
I got a sneak peak at Santa's list and you're all on the "nice" side!
So, let's keep lifting one another up, and let's keep shining so bright. Together we make the future bright!
