Time for a 'duh' I think - as Bernard pointed out the 'about north pole
images' page explains all.

Thanks chaps.

Not really high if you consider all that liquid water laying about. Front

I've had a webcam picture of the North Pole -
http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/npole/images/noaa1.jpg - set as a desktop item
on
my PM for the last couple of weeks, after I came across it via a message
here. Rather reassuring to see that there is actually a pole at the
North
Pole and the site of all that ice has been very welcome in this hot
weather.

However, if you look at the bottom left of the picture it gives a
reading
for the 'Internal Temp'. On the current version of the picture this
reading
is +14degrees C. I'd be interested to know what this reading refers to.
Surely not the sea water under the ice? Maybe it's the temperature
inside
the unit which contains the webcam?

I'd be interested to find out more about this - 14C seems high for
anything
located around the pole but I guess it can get warm/hot above the arctic
circle at this time of the year.
