The topic of “exploring the Earth’s polar regions”
is topical again now… Unfortunately, the participants
of the Franklin Expedition in 1845 fared quite differently.
None survived… The expedition took place at a time
that is likely to be among the coldest in the last 2,000 years.
Recently, we reported here on the research of
Professor Jørgen Peder Steffensen…
His temperature curve looks therefore clearly
different from Michael Mann’s 1999 “hockey stick”, namely more like an accordion.
