The headline is kind of misleading IMO. I knew what it'd be before opening but only because I have prior knowledge. Svalbard is a smidgen less than 1000km nort

The headline is kind of misleading IMO. I knew what it'd be before opening but only because I have prior knowledge.
Svalbard is a smidgen less than 1000km north of mainland Norway.
I don't believe that the Arctic sea ice has reached the mainland in my lifetime and I'm not sure how far back you'd need to go.
- rusticpenn 7y agoI dont understand the problem. It seems that the arctic fox did travel the mentioned distance, apparently sea ice was also used as a means of transport. Are you saying that the article is false?
- esotericn 7y agoI'm saying that the headline would imply to me a fox walking from Norway to Canada. Svalbard is Norway in the sense that Hawaii is the US. It's true, but the journey is completely different. It's not too surprising to me that a fox would use the sea ice for transport - it would surprise me to learn that foxes could swim from northern Norway to Svalbard.
