co-operation, science and conservation. 
It’s probably very obvious, but how do you navigate through the ice? Do you use radar/sonar or helicopter for visual routings?
Last night after several hours of very slow progress through the ice, at midnight and with the sun at its lowest in the sky, we reached a lovely long clear lead through the pack ice.

We use a lot of satellite images and we also have UAVs to scout if we need to but most of the time we use our ice radar and a pair of binoculars!

It's truly beautiful and to be honest, photos and video don't do it justice. It really is a privilege to be here! Happy New year to you too from all of us on board.

How many knots do you travel when breaking through the ice?
-
Hi Anne. It all depends how thick the ice is. If it's thin (up to 50cm or so) we go up to 8 knots. The thicker it gets the slower we go. At the moment we're averaging about 3-4 knots. But that's not in a straight line as we have to go round icebergs and the really thick bits.

Sir, how that ship break the ice?

Would also be interesting to know the maximum thickness of ice you can get through?
