	Prediction for white Christmas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		North Pole is one of the likeliest places in the Northeast to see snow on the ground Christmas morning -- with about a 96 percent chance of having any amount of snow -- according to Keith Eggleston, senior climatologist at the Northeast Regional Climate Center at Cornell.
		Eggleston estimated North Pole's chances of having a white Christmas based on climate data from nearby Tupper Lake, N.Y. While the Lake Placid weather station is closer, it only has been gathering snowfall data, officially, for 12 years, said Eggleston.
		Following close on the heels of Caribou and North Pole is Concord, N.H., where the chance of a white Christmas is 87 percent.

		Reidel explained that, after a close study of the reports of scientists and explorers, he believes there is no land at the pole, and that the sea there, if not open, is covered with ice of a moderate thickness.
		He believes that the climatic conditions at the pole are different from what popular belief would have them.

		Dr McCarthy told the New York Times newspaper that he found the new patch of ocean during a trip earlier in August on board a Russian icebreaker.
		Another scientist on the cruise, palaeontologist Dr Malcolm C McKenna, said the ship was able to sail all the way to the North Pole through only a thin crust of ice, and arrived on the spot to discover no ice at all.
		Despite the lack of agreement over whether the North Pole stretch of water was as a result of melting or ice movement, scientists do agree that the ice cap in general is shrinking.

	flights
		It is interesting to note that in the higher latitudes, the change in magnetic variation and the convergence of the meridians are a close match which enables a magnetic rhumb line to be closer to a great circle in distance (example flights between Gander and Shannon) than it is to a true rhumb line path.
		Lindbergh’s flight across the Atlantic between New York and Paris in 1927 illustrates the use of short segmented rhumb lines of 100 miles that were carefully plotted to approximate the great circle path (between the two cities) resulting in a savings of 140 nmi.
		He divided the resulting straight line (between New York and Paris) into100 mile segments and transferred the coordinates of the extremities of these segments to a Mercator chart which he used for his historic flight.

	NASA - Marshes Tell Story of Medieval Drought, Little Ice Age, and European Settlers near New York City
		These past remnants allowed researchers from Columbia University, New York, N.Y. and NASA to see evidence of a 500 year drought from 800 A.D. to 1300 A.D., the passing of the Little Ice Age and the impacts of European settlers.
		From the pollen record found in sediments in Piermont Marsh of the lower Hudson Valley, a Medieval Warm period was evident from 800 to 1300 A.D. Researchers know this from the striking increases in both charcoal, a sign of dry vegetation and fires, and pollen from pine and hickory trees.
		Because the salinity of the river changes with drought, causing saltier water to move further north, salinity changes have the potential to affect the water supply of the city.
