For years the Polar regions have been veiled in mystery because no man alive has been able to set a foot there. In this video we will have a look at some of the largest icebreakers in the world which made it possible for mankind to reach and explore these freezing parts of the world.
The main purpose of an icebreaking ship is to help the ships who get stuck in the ice or get trapped somewhere in the frozen waters of Antarctica.
The most powerful icebreakers are nuclear powered which gives them an advantage in comparison to the diesel powered icebreakers. Some nuclear icebreaking ships are capable of breaking a large iceberg with their weight
Nice vid, but nothing about the USCGC Polar Star or Sea? I'd think they would rank higher then the Healy. At 75K HP for gas turbines, that's some power. And as old as they are, at least one is still in operation.
Russia is showing a great interest in the North Pole, cuz they know how much oil and gold lay beneath all that ice
