Norwegian Icebreaker Heads Up Mississippi

As you may have seen on the news it's been very cold in the Midwest and Northern States .

So cold, in fact, that the US Corp of Engineers has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the Mississippi River for freighter traffic.

The Icebreaker is starting near Davenport , Iowa and working its way northward.



Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking begins

Impressive!
