    The dichotomies in icebreaker engineering are endlessly fascinating. Building these huge, heavy, reinforced ships with massive horsepower to brute-force through the ice... then using the relatively gentle action of air bubbles to keep the hull free from re-freezing. Really loved seeing the differences in the ice & wildlife between the Arctic & Antarctic too. Brilliant video! 🐧

      Difficult to answer as freezing depends on wind speed, sea state, surface temperature, etc. When these conditions are right, you can literally see the ocean slowly freezing up before your eyes.

    As a northern nation, Canada's icebreakers are a joke and embarrassment. They have known since the Cold War and the establishment of all but 1 of the Inuit settlements on Baffin Island and points north, that they would need arctic capable icebreakers. That lack of respect for people often left people without the annual needed supplies. It took 70 years for the government to finally decide to build one.

      An ice-strengthen ship is not an icebreaker and if the captain tries to use such a ship as an icebreaker, he'll punch a hole in it. That is why an icebreaker was needed.

      Breaking of floating ice, doesn't cause ANY rise in sea level, which you can easily confirm at home with a filled water glass with some ice. Furthermore, the Arctic ice is not a solid cover rather it opens and closes, i.e. breaks up, all the time due to wind and ocean currents. Thus the passage of this icebreaker is not causing any "damage".
