The ice is well clear of Point Barrow with only a small finger of 30% ice cover remaining well offshore.

Isn’t this in Sarah Palin’s back yard??? Why is she not there screaming at them with a bull horn, DRILL BABY DRILL!!!

If they were smart, the oil companies in Alaska would already have Sarah on a very lucrative consulting contract, ready to speak up for them when necessary. That she might “go rogue” once in awhile only adds to her credibility and value as a spokesperson for the industry.
