Icebreaker “Antarctica 1”

This is the new icebreaker of the Chilean Navy, currently under construction in Asmar, Talcahuano. The ship itself still has no name, but the project is called Antarctica 1.

This is a 1: 200 scale model, the original is 110 m long and displaces 12,000 tons. It is a Chilean-Canadian design and should be ready by 2022, it will be the most modern icebreaker in South America, and the largest and most complex ship ever built in Asmar.

This icebreaker will fulfill functions of supplying our bases in Antarctica, search and rescue missions and will allow scientific research activities. It will be equipped with two SH32 Cougar helicopters.

This LEGO model was built with approximately 2000 pieces, and can be displayed as a complete model or as a waterline model in an Antarctic diorama.
