The sea ice usually starts a "Break-up" period in late May. The ice will break into chunks and, depending on the currents and wind, slowly will be carried out to sea. During this period, however, the ice will be gone one day and back the next due to wind. There could be icebergs visible from the shore well into June.

Why are there no Piedmont glaciers to be fond in Anchorage Alaska?
The geography of the Anchroage area won't support a Piedmont glacier. This glacier (the Piedmont glacier) is characterized by large stagnant ice sheets where a glacier or glaciers "doesn't/don't have anywhere to go" for lack of an outlet. All the areas around Anchroage, Alaska slope down to the sea. There is no place for the ice of a Piedmont glacier to "build up" for lack of a way to "break out" or to "get stopped" to form this glacier.
What was the major seaport od the Pacicfic Northwest during the Gold Rush?

Why would melting the Arctic ice cap not cause a rise in sea level on its own?
If you put an ice cube in a glass of water the water level will rise because the cube displaces the water. Now if you check the water level after the cube melts, it will be the same. So ocean levels will not change if floating chunks of ice melt. However, If the ice is on land and melts and the water runs into the ocean, that will increase the water level.
Can you drive from US to Europe?
If you look at a map, you weill see that there is a minimum of 3,000 miles of sea between the USA and Europe. It is possible to cross the northern ice fields that build up between Alaska and Russia during the winter, though. Not an easy of safe way to go, but possible.
Can you drive from Canada to Alaska?
Yes you do, but only if you are determined to drive because it can be reached by Sea and Air. Alaska is on the far northwest of Canada and if you go to the map you can tell.
