Talk:Fletcher's Ice Island

Observation
I was the Navigator, with the 55 Air Rescue Squadron out of Thule AB, Greenland, that located Fletchers Ice Island in May of 1955. As I recall it was slightly Northwest of Alert, Canada. It was about 180 to 200 NM from Alert on a North by North West bearing. It took 5 missions in our SB17 to locate the Island, for the civilian scientists to occupy for the duration of summer. Roger E.

Saddest sentence ever written on Wikipedia?

 * It is estimated that sometime after July 1983, the iceberg eventually worked its way to the outside of the Arctic ice pack, where it caught a southern current, drifted off into the Atlantic Ocean, and finally melted away.

Well done. I shed a tear. Viriditas (talk) 07:33, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

The 1970 murder (by bear-rifle) is not mentioned in this article
At the time I'm typing this, this article does not mention a murder by firearm that took place on Fletcher's Ice Island in 1970, and the resulting quandary over jurisdiction, since apparently it's not a settled issue that a drifting ice-island is the same thing as a ship moving under some nation's flag, where jurisdiction would be well-settled. The island often moved between Canadian territorial waters and international waters.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 17:18, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
