Arctic ice claims another ship – this time with a sinking

Jay Ayer writes via WUWT Tips and Notes email:
An 11 meter sailboat was crushed and sunk by arctic ice in the Bellot strait on 8/29/2018. The vessel was attempting the Northwest Passage. The captain may have believed the propaganda about an ice free arctic in 2018.
