  • Transits of the Northwest Passage to End of the 2020 Navigation Season Atlantic Ocean ↔ Arctic Ocean ↔ Pacific Ocean
    TRANSITS OF THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE TO END OF THE 2020 NAVIGATION SEASON ATLANTIC OCEAN ↔ ARCTIC OCEAN ↔ PACIFIC OCEAN R. K. Headland and colleagues 7 April 2021 Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, United Kingdom, CB2 1ER. <[email protected]> The earliest traverse of the Northwest Passage was completed in 1853 starting in the Pacific Ocean to reach the Atlantic Oceam, but used sledges over the sea ice of the central part of Parry Channel. Subsequently the following 319 complete maritime transits of the Northwest Passage have been made to the end of the 2020 navigation season, before winter began and the passage froze. These transits proceed to or from the Atlantic Ocean (Labrador Sea) in or out of the eastern approaches to the Canadian Arctic archipelago (Lancaster Sound or Foxe Basin) then the western approaches (McClure Strait or Amundsen Gulf), across the Beaufort Sea and Chukchi Sea of the Arctic Ocean, through the Bering Strait, from or to the Bering Sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Arctic Circle is crossed near the beginning and the end of all transits except those to or from the central or northern coast of west Greenland. The routes and directions are indicated. Details of submarine transits are not included because only two have been reported (1960 USS Sea Dragon, Capt. George Peabody Steele, westbound on route 1 and 1962 USS Skate, Capt. Joseph Lawrence Skoog, eastbound on route 1). Seven routes have been used for transits of the Northwest Passage with some minor variations (for example through Pond Inlet and Navy Board Inlet) and two composite courses in summers when ice was minimal (marked ‘cp’).

Inuit have reported greater inter-annual variability in seasonal sea ice conditions. For Deception Bay (Nunavik), an area 15 prized for seal and caribou hunting, an increase in solid precipitation and a shorter snow cover period is expected in the near future. In this context, and considering ice-breaking transport in the fjord by mining companies, we monitored sea ice in the area for three seasons of ice between 2015 and 2018. This article presents a case study for the combined use of TerraSAR-X and time-lapse photography time-series in order to monitor snow-covered sea ice seasonal processes. The X-band median backscattering is shown to reproduce the seasonal evolution expected from C-band data. Two different freeze-up and breakup processes are characterized.

Moreover, growing awareness of fragile ecosystems, varying maritime conditions and challenges to navigation because of climate change and increasing interest in the Arctic have heightened the need to develop shipping routes that minimize the negative impacts on coastal communities and the marine environment. In tackling this challenge, Arctic States would benefit from sharing best practices on existing and ongoing efforts to provide safe and environmentally sound shipping routes across the circumpolar Arctic. Building on existing measures for area-based protection adopted by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the purpose of this report is to present domestic approaches to minimize environmental impacts and ensure safety of arctic shipping, and to stimulate discussions on possible future collaboration and coordination amongst Arctic States, Permanent Participants, Observer States and Organizations. This report also incorporates non-governmental perspectives on how to minimize the environmental impact of increased shipping activity in the Arctic, including Indigenous, academic and industry views.

Ice chart showed a full ice cover of thick first year ice (>120 cm) in vast floes (2-10 km wide) along the southern half of the Hudson Strait. Strong N / NW winds persisted for several days, causing the ice to be pushed against the northern Quebec shore. Heavy pressure occurred and kept the ship from being able to make any progress. Based on ice charts, ice conditions in Hudson Strait in early June 2018 were quite similar to normal in terms of extent and concentration.

Sea-ice consulting, field operations support, software, instruments SUMMARY This document reports on the technical pre-feasibility of Alberta exporting bitumen blend from the oil sands north to the Beaufort Sea coastline and from there, by ice-class tankers, to world markets in the Asia-Pacific region and the Atlantic coasts. Components of the Transportation System Components of a petroleum transport system to achieve this can include: Road, rail and river barging Pipelines for transporting dilbit and returning diluent to Fort McMurray, possibly incorporating the existing Norman Wells line Product storage facilities on the Arctic coast (either on land or on moored tankers), where diluent would also be separated from dilbit to return to Fort McMurray. Port facilities on the coast for supply and logistics. There are multiple choices for storage and port facilities in the NWT and Yukon. An undersea pipeline to an offshore loading terminal that would be ice resistant in design, from which tankers could travel to markets both in the Pacific and Atlantic regions. Alternatively, a similar scenario would see road/rail/pipeline transport of bitumen to the port of Churchill, Manitoba, for loading to ocean-going transport vessels.
