The filling of the Baffin Bay continues steadily. What surprised me in this animation is that the transport from the Nares Strait continues strongly. I have no idea when the blockade is supposed to start.

Wipneus, I'm not trying to take your thread off topic, but I've been watching that and other similar areas for years, thinking what would it take to plug up those ASI transport leaks around this time of year. Your animation has inspired me again to speak my mind.
If I had the cooperation of two of my childhood heros, Dudley Do-Right and Hans Christian Andersen (and I mean no disrespect for the fine people of Canada and Denmark by my sloppy use of metaphor), I'd make an ice bridge to plug up that ASI transport. Cooperation with the Inuit people living in that area also needs to be considered.
The concept is simple enough, if nature can make an ice bridge, why can't we do it, but some of the methods I've considered are strange? I've pondered, is it possible to "borrow" a piece of Petermann glacier or some of the old Ellesmere ice shelf, rig it with sail and move it to plug up those ASI leaks? Is it possible to "weld" ice together using liquid nitrogen? What base of operation should we use, well Camp Century, of course?!
Now, I only put that in a question form to illustrate how your animations make people think of things as a function of time, when before it was static, lifeless data. There are better places to discuss these and other ideas, but I just wanted to say thanks again for your efforts and accomplishments. Even a humble warrior such as yourself is worthy of our praise.
