Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the North Saskatchewan River

As you may have seen on the news, it was very cold in Alberta in recent weeks (though it’s warmed up now).

It was so cold, in fact, that the Government of Alberta borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker from Minnesota to clear the North Saskatchewan River for boat traffic.

The Icebreaker started near Devon and was working its way northward. Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking began. Impressive!

    Oh, there was a picture all right! And in a perfect set-up, I scrolled as I read, until I came to the Norwegian icebreaker…
