For decades the polar regions have beckoned explorers, adventures, scientists, and militaries to explore their vast mysterious landscapes but its beauty is only matched by its terrifying danger, and for most of human history the only way to get there was by ship. However, this proved very... very difficult for regular ships, so along came the Icebreakers! But how do they seamlessly glide through the ice? Today I'll explain exactly how these behemoths actually work!
