I wonder if this has anything to do with climate change and melting arctic ice, like maybe part of the reason they were able to find it was because there's less ice now? The journalist claims on his blog that a member of the expedition is to blame for inaccurate expedition accounts and has access to both the Star and Stephen Harper. The current government is very anti-science and has been actively muzzling climate scientists, so I could definitely imagine them trying to alter the story to avoid any implicit admission of significant Arctic melting. Maybe I'm just being completely paranoid, but I'm having trouble imagining alternative explanations for why such a seemingly harmless story is being treated the way it is.
