Never saw anything on their site. I did call after 8 weeks and they said it was in the works and they gave me an approximate delivery date.

I just sent in our visa forms to Pinnacle (we are on the cruise after all of you). Reading this has me worried.

Our visas are complete and our passports are being shipped FedEx tonight. With today's news I decided to contact Pinnacle to see if they were still at Consulate; was glad to hear that they had already been processed. Hopefully no issues for those passports still at Pinnacle and that our visas are not revoked (i.e., not admitted to Russia).
Life is an adventure!

The Saga of the Webster / Graham passports is now ended. Received an email from Steve at Pinnacle this AM that they have the passports and can send them to my son in Orange County where June and I will be after current cruise. In the end they did a good job of making it all happen. So June and I will be on the cruise. YIPPP Y

Current ice forecast for Bering and Chuckchi Seas: FZAK30 PAFC 222212 ICOAFC
Sea Ice Outlook for Western and Arctic Alaskan Coastal Waters National Weather Service Anchorage Alaska 212 PM AKDT Thursday 22 March 2018
...MARCH 2018 MONTHLY SEA ICE OUTLOOK...
Looking at the big picture, the ups and downs of the 2017-2018 sea ice season in the Bering Sea continued through much of March. Sea ice did once again grow and thicken by mid-March, however the ice edge has not yet made it as far south as Saint Matthew Island this season. The ice extent as of the third week of March is still somewhat similar to the extent of sea ice in mid-March 2001, a winter when the sea ice edge did not reach Saint Matthew Island until the very end of March. Sea surface temperatures remain above average in much of the Bering Sea, especially the northwestern area of the Bering Sea.
As we look forward toward break-up through June, we will likely still see periods of ice growth through early to mid-April as weather patterns shift and colder northerly winds return. As break- up begins in earnest we expect locations within the Bering Sea and southern Chukchi Sea to break up as fast or faster than the past couple years due to the lack of thickness of much of the sea ice and the continued warm sea surface temperatures.
Detailed information can be found in each pertinent section below.
...FREEZE-UP OUTLOOK FOR THE BERING SEA...
For Bristol Bay...sea ice concentrations will likely widely fluctuate through early April as storms are expected to continue to move through Bristol Bay this spring. We do not expect sea ice concentrations to reach 7 tenths within Bristol Bay this winter.
The ice edge may reach Saint Matthew Island by the first week of April. Whether or not the ice edge makes it there is highly dependent on continued colder air over the region through this time. If the ice edge does make it to Saint Matthew Island, it would likely only do so briefly before retreating once again. We do not expect the sea ice to go significantly beyond Saint Matthew Island this season.
...BREAK-UP OUTLOOK FOR THE BERING SEA...
Bristol Bay is expected to be sea ice free for the season by the second week of April.
For Kuskokwim Bay...sea ice is expected to reach 3 tenths concentration by the third week of April and be sea ice free for the season by the second week of May.
Etolin Strait is expected to be less than 3 tenths concentration by the first week of April and be sea ice free for the season by mid-April.
For coastal waters to 20 NM offshore from Etolin Strait to Cape Romanzof...we expect this area to be less than 3 tenths concentration by the 2nd week of April and be sea ice free for the season by the 3rd week of April.
For coastal waters to 20 NM offshore from Cape Romanzof to Unalakleet...sea ice concentrations are expected to be less than 3 tenths by the 2nd week of May and be sea ice free for the season by the 3rd week of May.
For Shaktoolik...we expect this area to be less than 3 tenths concentration by the 4th week of April and be sea ice free by the end of April.
For Norton Bay...we expect the sea ice to no longer be shorefast by the end of April. Sea ice concentrations are expected to be less than 3 tenths by the second week of May and sea ice free for the season by the 3rd week of May.
Shorefast ice within Golovin Bay is expected to no longer be shorefast by the 4th week of April. Sea ice concentrations will likely be less than 3 tenths by the second week of May and sea ice free for the season by the middle of May.
Along the Nome coast from Port Safety to Cape Rodney to 20 NM offshore...sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast by the 3rd week of April. Sea ice concentrations will likely be less than 3 tenths by the first week of May and sea ice free for the season by the 3rd week of May.
Norton Sound is expected to be less than 3 tenths sea ice concentration by the 2nd week of May and sea ice free for the season by the 3rd week of May.
For Port Clarence...sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast by the 2nd week of May. Sea ice concentration will likely reach 3 tenths by the first week of June and be sea ice free for the season by the second week of June.
The Bering Sea is expected to be sea ice free south of 60N by the 4th week of April.
The Bering Sea south of Saint Lawrence Island may be sea ice free by the second week of May.
The Bering Strait is expected to be sea ice free by the end of May.
The Bering Sea is expected to be completely sea ice free for the season by the first week of June.
...BREAK-UP OUTLOOK FOR THE CHUKCHI SEA...
Ice is expected to no longer be shorefast from Wales to Espenberg by mid-May.
For coastal waters up to 20 nm offshore from Wales to Espenberg, sea ice is expected to reach 3 tenths by the first week of June and be sea ice free for the season by the second week of June.
For Kotzebue Sound, sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast by the middle of May. Sea ice concentration is expected to reach 3 tenths by the third week of June and be sea ice free for the season by the fourth week of June.
For Cape Krusenstern to Point Hope to 20 nm offshore, sea ice is expected to reach 3 tenths concentration then sea ice free for the season by the second half of June.
For Point Hope to Icy Cape west to 170W, sea ice is expected to reach 3 tenths concentration during the second half of June and be sea ice free for the season by the end of June.
For Point Hope to Wainwright, sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast during the second half of June. Sea ice throughout coastal waters to 20 nm offshore from Point Hope to Wainwright is expected to be sea ice free by the end of June.
Sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast from Wainwright to Barrow by the end of June.
...BREAK-UP OUTLOOK FOR COOK INLET...
Sea ice extent within Cook Inlet is expected to fluctuate through the end of March before break-up begins in earnest in April.
Lower Cook Inlet south of the Forelands is expected to be sea ice free by the first week of April.
The Forelands to Fire Island is expected to reach 3 tenths concentration during the first week of April and be sea ice free during the second week of April.
Turnagain Arm is expected to be sea ice free by the second week of April.
Knik Arm is expected to reach 3 tenths concentration by the second week of April and be sea ice free by the third week of April.
Cook Inlet is expected to be completely sea ice free for the season by the third week of April. Here is current ice chart for Alaskan waters:

Don't anticipate any ice except the day we go up to ice edge. Should be good for polar bears on Wrangell as they are stuck there.

Marc Unfortunately the uncertainties and the contradictions with our visas continued to increase and we decided to cancel the cruises. What originally was "no problem" became "write a letter explaining why you need the visas early and we will submit them to the Russian embassy and it is at their discretion". Also the date to submit the application put us right up against the penalty phase of the booking.

So a question--George and I are on the cruise after this one. I sent our passports off a month ago, as soon as we got back from New Zealand, to get our Russia visas. Haven't heard a thing except to get the email they sent confirming that the passports and applications had been received. How long should I give them before I start to get worried.? We have already paid for this cruise in full (which we did when we booked.) But we obviously can't go without a visa.

We sent our passports in on 1 March and received them back on 27 March; so just under four weeks. I did contact Pinnacle a couple of times by email to see if there was an update on status; they replied relatively promptly each time.

Marc - As much as I agree with you that "Comrade Boris" might be a cute name for the bear on the pin, you might wish to consider that for many Russians (and perhaps the border guards with whom you'll be dealing at a number of your ports on WRANGEL), the term "Comrade" or its Russian equivalent of "Tovarisch" are insulting reminders of the Soviet era. Perhaps it might be more prudent (and more likely to get you through immigration controls) to call the guy on the pin "Nash droog Boris", our buddy Boris.

This pin the bear is all white glitter. New option to use glitter! More expensive of course but worth it I think it will spark up our pins. We cannot wait to see how he looks!

Fred, you got me to open my Nadsat Dictionary; droog Boris is probably a great name.

Robin Aiello is on Wrangel! And Luke Kenny is now promoted to Assistant Expedition Leader. Expedition Leader is Brad Siviour; has anyone sailed with him? Doesn't seem like he has lots of experience so curious. Marc

For all those on WRANGEL check your flights if on Alaska, which I would guess all are at least from Nome. I received and email changing the flight from Nome a few minutes later than original schedule. The connection in Anchorage was also changed by almost an hour. Just thought I should alert all, in case you missed the email as it could go into ones spam filter.

Looks like we might actually see ICE. This report is for Alaskan waters to 170W but the New Siberian Islands are at 75N so, if similar to Alaska forecast, will be icy from there until we get just north of Wrangel. FZAK30 PAFC 281537 ICOAFC
Sea Ice Outlook for Western and Arctic Alaskan Coastal Waters National Weather Service Anchorage Alaska 735 AM AKDT Thursday 28 June 2018
...JUNE 2018 MONTHLY SEA ICE OUTLOOK...
Looking at the big picture, sea ice break up has slowed significantly during June as expected due to thicker first year and multi-year ice north of 70N. Alaska waters south of 70N are now sea ice free. Sea ice in the Beaufort Sea has begun to melt out from the coast, especially at river deltas.
As we look forward through September, we expect sea ice breakup to continue to be slower than the past couple years as there is still a higher concentration of multi-year ice through the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. We expect melting within the ice pack to the north of that band of multiyear ice during July, August, and early September as the ice there is thinner overall. The pattern of melting in this area may be similar to 2016 when a band of ice remained off the coast of Barrow through much of September before completely melting.
In the Beaufort Sea, we expect the sea ice to break up from the Alaska coast northward as is common, however we expect to see the main ice pack melt at a much slower rate than last year due to the much more widespread multiyear ice that remains throughout much of the Beaufort Sea this year.
Detailed information can be found in each pertinent section below.
...BREAK-UP OUTLOOK FOR THE CHUKCHI SEA...
For Point Hope to Icy Cape west to 170W, this area is expected to be sea ice free for the season by the first week of July.
For Point Hope to Wainwright, sea ice throughout coastal waters to 20 nm offshore from Point Hope to Wainwright is expected to be sea ice free by the 1st week of July.
Sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast from Wainwright to Barrow by the first week of July. Sea ice concentrations throughout coastal waters to 20 NM offshore from Wainwright to Barrow are expected to reach 3 tenths concentration then be sea ice free by the middle of July.
For Icy Cape to Barrow west to 170W, sea ice concentrations are expected to reach 3 tenths by the end of July and be sea ice free for the season during the first half of August.
For the area north and west of Point Barrow to 75N and 170W, this area may be sea ice free by mid-September. This will be highly dependent on how fast the multi-year ice in the area melts. It is possible that this area will not completely melt before new sea ice begins to form in the fall.
...BREAK-UP OUTLOOK FOR THE BEAUFORT SEA...
From Point Barrow to Cape Halkett...sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast by the second week of July. Sea ice concentration to 20 NM offshore may reach 3 tenths by the first half of September and be sea ice free for the season by mid-September.
For Point Barrow to Cape Halkett to 75N, this area is expected to reach 3 tenths concentration during the first half of September and be sea ice free for the season by mid-September. It is also possible that sea ice will not melt back to 75N before freeze-up begins in fall.
From Cape Halkett to Flaxman Island...sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast by the first week of July. Sea ice concentration to 20 nm offshore is expected to reach 3 tenths by the end of August and be sea ice free for the season by mid-September.
For Flaxman Island to Demarcation Point...sea ice is expected to no longer be shorefast by the first week of July. Beyond the shorefast ice, sea ice is thinner than the surrounding area. Sea ice has already begun to melt in the Mackenzie River Delta area and that area is expected to continue to expand westward through break-up. Sea ice concentration to 20 nm offshore is expected to reach 3 tenths by the end of July and may be sea ice free for the season by the middle of August.
From Harrison Bay to Demarcation Point to 75N, it is possible this area will reach 3 tenths concentration by the end of August, however it will more likely be sometime in September if it happens at all before new sea ice begins to form again.
Just found this site for Russia ice conditions/forecast. This is forecast for 12 July, as far out as it will go. I do not know if this graphic will automatically update. Graphic wouldn't transfer properly so here is the url: http://www.arctic-lio.com/nsr_ice

Thanks Marc. Love seeing these ice charts. Looking pretty thick around Wrangel Island right now but a few weeks can make a big difference. Still amazing to me we are going to such a remote area. Getting excited about this trip. My warm clothes are being used again - good stuff.

Right you are, Ngaire. From Wikipedia ( Calving) “Jakobshavn Isbrae Glacier Also known as the Ilulissat Glacier or Sermeq Kujalleq in western Greenland, in an ongoing event, 35 billion tonnes of icebergs calve off and pass out of the fjord every year. “Photographer James Balog and his team were examining this glacier in 2008 when their cameras caught a piece of glacier the size of the Lower Manhattan fall into the ocean.[16] The calving event lasted for 75 minutes, during which time the glacier retreated a full mile across a calving face three miles (five kilometers) wide. Adam LeWinter and Jeff Orlowski captured this footage, which is featured in the film Chasing Ice.”

Our Silversea Expedition cruise that went to Greenland's Scoresby Sund was amazing. Picture postcard days with massive glaciers and giant icebergs from the glaciers. Larger than anything we saw in Antarctica.

We just got back from Alaska and spent a couple of days in Talkeetna. Don't know if you already have plans, or if it is something you might like, but we did an ATV tour while there that we thought was a real blast. Talkeetna ATV

We are going to be there in two weeks as a pre to WRANGLE. Thanks so much for your input. We had planned to do some fly fishing and hiking but we will definitely add the ATV to the list as well!

Where are you staying in Denali, Marc? Pre cruise will be at the Grand Denali Lodge on the 22nd and 23rd.
BOOTS? Just got another email about renting/buying/bringing boots... anyone taking their own or renting? On our past cruises they always have plenty, but the email makes it sound iffy.
“ A limited number of boots are available on board the ship for emergency situations only. “
