Norwegian Icebreaker heads

up the Mississippi River

As you may have seen on the news it's been very cold in MN.

So cold, in fact, that the US Corp of Engineers has borrowed

a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the Mississippi River for

freighter traffic.



The Icebreaker is starting near Savanna, Il. and working its

way northward. Here is a picture as the hard work of

ice breaking begins. Impressive!

I laughed my butt off when I got it from a friend so I just had to share with my other friends. :)
