Check the small links right at the bottom of a Yahoo Answers page. One is called "Community Guidelines". Amongst other things, it tells you, "Don't post things that are incomprehensible or in the wrong language, and don't post the same question over and over again. "

A simple Google search would show you that the polar regions are freezing all year round.

In the eighties I was caught in a snow storm on Pikes Peak (Colorado) in August.

Antarctica is a considerably more intense area than Colorado.

In short, shlt happens.

The weather always varies, but trends are long term tendencies.

In case you didn't know, there is lots of ice at the poles, even in the Summer. One of the biggest threats from global warming is that if the ice melts, it can cause the sea level to rise, flooding millions of peoples' homes and decreasing the albedo, amplifying the warming.

you have posted this question in five places which invites good people to waste their time.

This is my answer to another one of these postings.

You can't get stuck IN the ice in winter as it is too thick and solid to get into it at all.

Only in summer is it thin enough for a boat to penetrate.

Then a spell of bad weather blowing the loose ice together to form a solid mass and voila.

If I recall correctly Shackleton at the North pole had the same problem.

Yah! Fancy that. 100 years ago an expedition successfully made that trip in a wooden boat, not an ice breaker.

Allan: I can comprehend it. Too bad you can't. Are you one of those ignorant Y!A low life employees that suppressed my answer and said 'CHEERS'? I think you are.

Antarctica and the surrounding seas are cold.

Because the world is cooling rapidly. The Sun has come out of it's Modern Maximum, which is what caused the small amount of global warming to begin with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Maxi...

The world is cooling --- while Warmists continue to lie and say it's warming. The clowns that organized the failed Spirit of Mawson voyage - stuck in Ice (AAE) Expedition continue to believe their own propaganda, in this case they were lucky nobody was killed or injured. The ship they were on could still be lost.

The man-made Global Warming lie must STOP !

cause it was in antartica and is full of ice all time

Because if you go far enough south or north you run into the arctics?
