Norwegian Icebreaker Heads up North Saskatchewan River

As you may have seen on the news it's been very cold in Saskatchewan ...





So cold, in fact, that the Government of Saskatchewan 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.


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