So the Swedish icebreaker Oden is in port. Well, in and out of port. You could see them from down in the distance past Hut Point slowly making their way in as they repeatedly backed up and rammed the sea ice. By Monday morning they had cleared their way to the ice pier.
The ice pier itself is funny because it is a small iceberg that rises and falls with the tides to make it easier to unload a ship. There are power poles and small structures on it, its really quite amusing.
The Oden went back out to sea this morning and is out doing donuts in the parking lot to break up more sea ice to clear the channel for the resupply vessels.
