Just so you know. The Russians have the largest , most effective icebreakers, but most of them are in the Arctic.
One has to laugh at global warming mavins trapped in sea ice that apparently should not exist.No Obama sends in a US Coast Guard ship?
Buahahahahahahaha!
Why not just leave them there, global warming will met the ice very , very soon according to ALLEN GORP.
According to wikipedia (and the citation isn’t provided of course) the Russian Nuclear Ice breakers can only operate in the arctic due to their reactor design, which require COLD water. Not sure how much faith I place in wikipedia especially with no backup.
