Norwegian Icebreaker Heads up the North Saskatchewan River
As you may have seen on the news, it's been very cold in Alberta.
It's so cold, in fact, that the Government of Alberta has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the North Saskatchewan River for freighter traffic.
The Icebreaker is starting near Devon and working its way northward toward Edmonton.
Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking begins:
Impressive, isn't it?!
(For the visually impaired, the photo shows an elderly, naked man, standing in the water up to his knees, chopping the ice with an axe.)
