Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 46, No. 2, Pg. 25:
CORALLING THE ICE––With Oden's master, Mattias Peterson, directing operations, and its second officer, Thomas Stromsnas, working the ship's controls, the icebreaker mashed broken chunks into smaller pieces. In this fisheye lens view, you can see how the ship circled the pieces, herding them into the center. The ship then tried to push the pieces to one side, to clear a patch of open water for Puma. But the ice pack was unforgiving today. The ice moved backed quickly, filling the hole again, and swarming the ship's hull.
