1st of Nov, 2012 - A ship goes up between USA and Russia, seems to dock, then joins up with another boat that seems to have been just hanging around for ages above Siberia, then they head off to Europe.

What's going on there?

Perhaps one ship was stuck in sea ice and the other helped it along? It looks like the extent of the ice ends about the same place those two ships separate over Siberia[1]
