🚢 Icebreakers in Action 🐧

This is a film showing scenes of icebreakers in action in the polar regions. The icebreakers in this film were breaking ice in the Arctic at the North Pole, along Canada's Northwest Passage, and across Russia's Laptev Sea. In Antarctica, they were working in the Weddell Sea, and the Ross Sea.

This is a long video, but it was timeless while watching it. I found myself at the end without feeling how much time passed by.🚢🚢🚢

My stepfather was in the Coast Guard back in the late 60s early 70s on a Icebreaker in the Antarctic. He shared some great stories.

Artika class is the best, that 2 colour look is just owesome and makes sense - all Russian icebreakers should be like that. Great video thank you!

[NELSONG]

Great video of your incredible journey. Thank you for sharing.

The dichotomies in icebreaker engineering are endlessly fascinating. Building these huge, heavy, reinforced ships with massive horsepower to brute-force through the ice... then using the relatively gentle action of air bubbles to keep the hull free from re-freezing. Really loved seeing the differences in the ice & wildlife between the Arctic & Antarctic too. Brilliant video! 🐧

Nice ''save-screener material'' Thank You for the share.

Very interesting and enjoyable. Noted that the broken pale blue ice is covered by possibly 12 inches of white ice.

The first Russian icebreaker when not breaking ice has cruises civilians can go on. There’s a video called the first nuclear powered cruise ship that talks about which country’s still have nuclear powered civilian vessels.

This machines are absolutely amazing, the progress we have made with ships in astonishing

I'm from California so no frozen lakes here. I do have a question, though. When the icebreaker passes through a breaks up the ice how long does it take to re-freeze?

Amazing to my soul, Russian icebreaker, supergood

[Eid_Ali]

next time, please take some snacks for the bears

[riverrivers]

Thats so amazing and so powerful, , , , the canada ship isnt impressive as the russian ship, , , it

I served aboard the Polar Star and sister ship Polar Sea before she was decommissioned.

[hanabangirawan]

yes, russia ice breaker is the best in the world , .

At 7.30 in, why did a ice breaker need another ice breaker???
