In 2016, a crack in the ice opened beneath the site of the U.S. Navy’s flagship Arctic exercise several hundred miles north of Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, forcing experiments to end early and leaving researchers scrambling to evacuate. Five years later, an early freeze trapped roughly two dozen commercial vessels in the East Siberian Sea; some had to wait weeks for Russian icebreaker assistance. And during a Canadian-led multinational military exercise in 2025, allied forces encountered a difficult combination of conditions: extreme cold grounded helicopters, broke snowmobiles, and knocked out communications equipment even as thinning sea ice forced U.S. pilots to search 25,000 miles of coastline for a location thick enough to land on. These were not failures by unprepared or inexperienced Arctic actors. They involved three of the region’s most proficient nations, each operating in territory it knew well. But there was a common thread: the Arctic has a way of humbling those who operate there. Its distances, darkness, extreme weather, and sparse infrastructure expose the limits of even the most capable governments and militaries. This fact creates a paradox.

Seaside Travel is stepping up its involvement with local good causes after launching a group-wide Giving Back Promise. The agency chain, which has 13 branches in the North East and a homeworking division, already works with some local charities. For example, the Prudhoe branch has regularly supported Tynedale Hospice, while the Bishop Auckland branch raises money for the Angel Trust, which supports people in need across County Durham. The group is now expanding its charity initiatives following the promotion of Dominic Graydon-Close from Assistant Manager of Seaside’s Prudhoe branch to Community and Events Manager as part of the senior management team. Dom told Travel Gossip: “The community if the heart of our branches and we have always worked for local charities but we’re now ramping it up and all branches will commit to this. “We want to play an active role within the community where our branches are and to show local residents that we are doing something to make a difference – as little or big as that might be. We’re very excited to see what we can get up to. Who knows where it will grow from here? The sky’s the limit.” Seaside's community initiatives were previously overseen by Community and Training Manager Kate Pinder, but as the training part of her job has grown, a new role was created for Dom.
