The Icebreaker

See these strange patterns in the sea ice just off the mainland of Antarctica? This was a big moment down there because it's when the first ship arrived after a loooooong winter. This pattern was made because the icebreaker went in and made a circle so that other ships coming in could turn around and make a loop. It was fun watching the ships come in because it took many many days… and we could see the ship get a little bigger every day.

doing it, but at least, I got out of there!
