Competition: Name that ARGO float

To follow in the grand Cape Farewell ARGO float naming tradition, we declare the competition to name “Arty Bob 2” now open. Suggestions welcome from far and wide (post them in the comment box below). Get your suggestions in by Wednesday 1st October. Top suggestions so far include: Titanic Bob, Broken Mike (ask anyone at the London launch) and Sarah Palin (Marcus’s suggestion that it would be fairly satisfying to throw Sarah overboard into Arctic waters and have her surface only once every 10 days).

Choose to view the map by terrain or satellite view, like the image above of Ilulissat Icefjord in Disko Bay – a UNESCO World Heritage site and the sea mouth of Sermeq Kujalleq, one of the fastest and most active glaciers in the world.
