Summer there. This happened to the Vikings after they settled Greenland. The Little Ice Age hit and their ships couldn’t get to their colonies. There was a brief respite, and when they got there everyone was dead. Of course Hansen proved that didn’t happen with a few tree rings.

Ice breaker basically plow through sea ice. The thick stuff they ride up on and break using the weight of the ship. They have a rounded hull and a sloping prow that allows this, but also makes them notorious for wallowing in heavy seas.
