Toronto Star: Even the High Arctic wont remain a haven for polar bears if the Earth continues to warm at the current pace, says an alarming new study.

In his report at the end of the exploratory voyage, he notes that every precaution was taken to ensure a successful voyage-extra clothing on board for when "the higher latitudes" were reached, spirits for use by the sick, and life boats designed to carry the crew of both ships, should one be lost. Along the way, Phipps...
