The SubArtic Gulf of Bothnia (w/c is the Northern arm of the Baltic Sea) is completely covered w/ ice during winter & remains frozen for more then 6 months. March 11, 2024 we boarded the Sampo Icebreaker ship at the Kemi port of Lapland Finland for a cruise on this frozen sea out of curiosity & adventure. It was truly a unique experience to watch this massive icebreaker plow thru the frozen waters. Fascinating to see how it crashes & breaks solid ice 2 to 3 feet thick. One can feel the power of the ship as it breaks thru the thick ice & create a path in the frozen sea for non-icebreaker ships to follow. Then the ship anchored in the middle of the Gulf to allow us to go down for the thrilling experience of walking atop the sea ice & float & wade in the icy waters beside the ship, of course w/ a floatation survival suit. I tried to capture these memorable events on this short video w/c I'd lie to share w/ you
