I wish they wouldn't do video thumbnails of Kara's skinny body, but still - it's interesting to see what a luxury cruise to the North Pole does for entertainment when they get there:
One other thing: I suppose I expected the ice to be a little thicker, even in summer. I mean, yeah, submarines can break through it, so it can't be too thick. But still, it seemed there was more open water around, and ice that was easily broken, than I expected.
Also, if you watch the video, you will probably understand why I find this couple cringey at times - they kiss and tell each other they are "so proud of you" in about every second video.
Yeah it does seem surprisingly thin. But thats only a momentary phenomenon. Being that its the end of our winter, so the end of the North Pole Summer. Which means that its basically been endless daylight there for 3 months or so. And probably also being helped along by warm water flowing northward. Give it two more months and it will surely be impenetrable.
