First time riding an icebreaker 👍🏻👍🏻

The first time I took an icebreaker in my life, it was not in Hokkaido where I had wanted to go for a long time, but in Lapland, Finland❄️❄️❄️ Depart from Rovaniemi, arrive at the Swedish border, and then start the Polar Explorer icebreaking journey! 😌 The Gulf of Bothnia, which is close to the Arctic Circle, is in a high latitude area. Because the weather is very cold in winter, large ice blocks are easily condensed on the sea surface, and icebreakers can open up shipping lanes. Polar Explorer is a multi-functional icebreaker. It was mainly used to transport cement to oil production sites in the Arctic Ocean. It can also carry up to 199 passengers. Although there was not much ice in December and the ice-breaking scene was not shocking, it was definitely an unforgettable experience! 💓💓💓 #2023 Travel Wish Hokkaido
