With global warming heating us up, you'll soon be able to strut and display the latest swimwear fashion, aka the fishkini (read on if you want to find out more about this!!) on the deck of a cruise ship whilst navigating through bits of icebergs along the northwest passage route.The most direct shipping route from Europe to Asia is fully clear of ice for the first time since records began in 1978, says the European Space Agency.
That is CRAZY! - and of course raises the concern that all sorts of political mayhem may ensue... well in a way it's already happening.
Canada of course is saying that since the route passes through its territory it gets the right to decide who can and can't traverse it; while the EU and the US, of course, are arguing that it should be considered 'international waters' hence usable by anyone. Then back in August there was the whole Canadian versus Russian versus Danish geological quest going on - with the Russians planting a titanium flag on the seabed thereby claiming it was their bit of underwater land... the Danes then later set out on a similar mission - whilst
