Seeing as noone has given a decent explanation, hewre it is from the
website:



Temperatu The temperature you see in the left corner of the picture is
correct. It is the temperature of the camera, and may be warmer than the
surrounding air temperature (think about how your car heats up on a sunny
day). Because it is spring, the temperatures are warmer than they are in the
middle of winter, when the temperatures are near -30 deg C. Also the ocean
water below the ice floes is near the freezing point for salt water (-1.7
deg C), so this helps keep the temperatures higher than they would be on
land. Click to see the temperature and other realtime data from the North
Pole instruments.

Thanks for that. I was still wondering what the answer was.
