Ice Breaker

Here is the ice breaker that came into McMurdo.  It was a really cool thing to see.  It is hard to see in these pictures but when the ship came in it pushed all the ice like one big sheet of ice.  It was almost scary.  And pushed huge ice chunks up onto the land.  Then you could also see the huge chunks of ice being crushed and tossed by the ship.

Chunks of ice that were pushed up onto the land.  Hard to see the real size of them.

The second ship is another ice breaker but also does science missions as well.
