For years the Polar regions have been veiled in mystery because no man alive has been able to set a foot there. In this video we will have a look at some of the largest icebreakers in the world which made it possible for mankind to reach and explore these freezing parts of the world. The main purpose of an icebreaking ship is to help the ships who get stuck in the ice or get trapped somewhere in the frozen waters of Antarctica. The most powerful icebreakers are nuclear powered which gives them an advantage in comparison to the diesel powered icebreakers. Some nuclear icebreaking ships are capable of breaking a large iceberg with their weight. Yamal 50 Years of victory Arktika Vaygach Louis S. St-Laurent WAGB-20 Polarstern атомный ледокол
