The Lost Squadron

Let's say, hypothetically, that a squadron of planes was lost in 1942 in Greenland, then rediscovered more than 50 years later. With mankind pumping all that CO2 in the air for over five decades, the area must have been ice-free by 1992, am I right?

Actually, no.

Read the real story here. An excerpt:

For more than 50 years, the planes of the Lost Squadron rested at the site of the crash, unseen, but not forgotten. Then in 1992 an entrepreneur, Roy Shoffner led a successful expedition (the 10th such expedition, dating back to 1977) to rescue one of the planes of that ill fated mission from its icy grave. The 1992 expedition found that the planes were resting under some 268' of solid ice (equivalent to the height of a 23 story building), built up since 1942 (How does that fit in with our reports of global warming?)
