Inspiriert durch das tolle Foto vom Ralph Goppelt hab ich mich auch mal auf's Glatteis gewagt. Notiz an mich: Beim nächsten mal die Blende noch etwas mehr schließen.

Our gf took this on her recent trip to Antarctica. This is the bow of the National Geographic Explorer, about to start breaking its way through a stretch of pack ice.
Old icebreakers in the IJsselmeer/Markermeer near the hamlet of Rozewerf on the island of Marken. These icebreakers are intended to protect the island from the drifting ice.
Marken is a former island in the IJsselmeer (now peninsula).
Our put in at Lakeview Park, Long Sault, Ontario. We reached thick shoreline ice that was thick enough to walk over, up to here the ice was fractured and paddleable.
The Icebreakers of Marken on a ver very cold winters morning.
I cannot believe that this was taken this month!!!
Taken on my trip to the lighthouse of Marken earlier this month.

Out mid-afternoon on a bright, cool, and windy Spring Equinox as we paddled through nearly closed large ice sheets to get out on the St. Lawrence River. Photographed with Cokin B-Y Polarization Filter to emphasize the sun reflections on water and ice in a golden tone.
I'm currently building a kinda (trans light blue is expensive!) large antarctic layout with an expedition being droped off at the edge of an ice shelf. The ship will feature a portal crane at the stern (up/down) and two "normal" ones (crane turn left/right and boom up/down), one midships and one at the bow.
This is my first time using technic gears power functions in a MOC, so if you spot something needlessly complicated or unsuited for longer durations of operation please tell me!
Here's a change of content for my Flickr stream. This is an image that goes back to a day trip we took from Copenhagen to Malmo back in 2013 . It was simply a half hour train ride across and under the Öresund Strait. No passports were required and the train ran on time with arrival under blue skies in Malmo. What wasn't to like.
The subject here is the Icebreaker SS Bore which was built in 1894 at Kockums in Malmö. It sometimes took passengers as a reserve ferry between Copenhagen and Malmö. SS Bore belongs to the first generation of heavy icebreakers built in the late 1800's. As an aside during both world wars it served as a gunboat.
SS Bore was in service until 1968. In 1983 it was bought by Swecox AB of Västerås and has since been completely renovated and restored to its original condition.

On a silent and pretty calm nightshift.
Stood here for a while, and enjoyed the silence.
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.
Doing some Navigation Aid Maintenance.
CCGS Samuel Risley[note 1] is a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker and buoy tender assigned to the Great Lakes area (Central and Arctic Region). Lead ship of her class, the vessel is named after Samuel Risley, the 19th century maritime inspector and first head of Board of Steamship Inspectors for Upper Canada and Ontario.[1] Based in the Great Lakes, CCGS Samuel Risley is responsible for keeping an ice-free passage between Port Colborne, Ontario and Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Ordered in 1983, the ship was launched in 1984 by Vito Steel Boat & Barge Limited at their yard in Delta, British Columbia with the yard number 161.[3][6][7] The vessel was completed on 4 April 1985.[5][6] After completion, the ship sailed to eastern Canada, transiting the Panama Canal and deploying to the Great Lakes.[4] The ship is assigned to the Central Region, based at Parry Sound, Ontario.
Hmm, from the side view the shards of ice that sticks out in front of the boat is at it's best angle.
Rozewerf at Marken, where icebreakers protect the houses from the ice in the winter
