How many inches of ice?

 

ice is not locked in.open water off michigan.if wind shift to an east or south would pick up,you c ould be blown off shore or a crack too big to cross ,pay extra attention to wind forecasts and conditions.

 

I see a lot of open cracks all throughout western basin in that modis image, and a big one along the west edge of the lake. South and west winds in forecast unfortunately. Big blow Thursday then winds supposed to settle down Friday

Here’s an ice report for the passage. Kind of what I assumed.

 

Flew off PIB yesterday. Lots off open or new ice shattered between PIB and Millers. wind for 2 days ice opening here and there.

 

Please keep in mind the ice breaker Bristol Bay is working the North Passage and there is still comercial marine traffic operating.
