Months of bone-chilling temperatures have turned much of the Bay of Bothnia into thick slabs of ice. Finnish icebreaker Sisu is now headed toward the region, and according to the ship's chief officer Patrik Barck, it seems like there will be a lot of ice to deal with this winter.
Sisu is the fifth icebreaker sent out so far this season, which is early compared to last year, when the fifth icebreaker was deployed some two weeks later on 10 February.
In 2017, ice levels on most of Finland's seas were very low, as well.
