#1 There's some question as to whether they're actually out on the ice at all. Faked data feeds, for one thing, and strange video anomalies - no breath visible at -60, etc...

#3 ed

the scale of the maps to which you linked is obviously incapable of showing the open water

ice is rigid, very rigid and wind and below ice current gives differential force to areas of ice, this creates cracks and sometimes the cracks expand and become open water (at least until it refreezes which happens pretty quickly at -25C)

#5 I've been following this bunch of political "scientists" on Watts up with That?, a very useful site for anyone that's watching the home front in the war on human existence. Check it out - daily.

#6 I second that emotion, OP. Watt's Up With That is an outstanding resource. He's got some smart cookies in his commentariat as well.
