Here's a shot of Coast Guard 307 landing on the icebreaker CCGS Amundsen off Bank's Island this week. Brrr.

Amazing picture CTD ! Interesting info ...

Obviously the Amundsen had to slow down to allow the 212 to catch up

So what are yo doin Crash? A little moonlighting? There must be somewhere a bit warmer than that for an old guy.

 

Seriously those icebreakers when they are under way in the ice are a sight to behold.

Class 12 Icebreaker I think should be able to cut continuously thru ice 12 feet thick-- Lots of horsepower
