Really cool how the writers of the show are dropping these hints about the island is really different than the real world - Faraday (on the English Currency Sayid found in Ben's secret closet), Minkowski (wonder why Lapidus does not want Daniel to talk to Minkowski on the boat?), scattering light, pushing the button to release the built-up magnetic charge.......If I was not such a fan of the show, I'd believe the writers were setting us up for a big reveal that the island is hidden and the entrance/exit to the island is AT THE NORTH or SOUTH POLE.
think about it........polar bears, 'Living in a bloody Snow globe' reference from Desmond, using a submarine to get to the island (to go under the ice?!?) , Hurley drawing igloo and Eskimo, listening station in Arctic picking up signal when the hatch blew, four shelves of heavy sweaters in Ben's secret closet, Hatch Swan password of 'What did one snowman say to the other?', Sayid picking up the ice in Berlin after his phone call to Ben,...........anyone want to guess that the freighter is an ice breaker?
Alot of cold references there, you've got a point, but you lost me on the last line. The freighters were not dressed for the poles when they dropped onto the island. Unless the 'bubble' the island is inside stretches more than 80 miles offshore, they would've needed to bundle up a little more, I think.
