A view looking forward towards the pack ice from the cabin window of the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1975)
A view looking forward towards the loose pack ice from the cabin window of the ice breaker Kapitan Dranitsyn (1975). Some of the pack ice is discoloured from pollution or contact with the land.
On 25 July the ice breaker sailed though the Beaufort Sea, passing pack ice. Ivy Sharp spent time watching the ice: 'The icebreaker is very interesting to watch. It has a rounded hull and as it approaches the pack ice it either pushes to aside, if sufficiently fragile or there is water around where it can be pushed or else climb on the ice and slowly crunch forward.'
