ICEBREAKING Glacier ' s ability to sail through fields of ice, cutting the way into frozen harbors and bays, makes all our Antarctic missions possible. Our ship was specifically designed for such maneuvers with her reinforced steel bow, 10 main diesel engines and wide rounded structure. Glacier doesn ' t actually cut through the ice. Rather, she charges bow first up on it where sheer massive weight cracks and crushes the floes, displacing ice into clear areas. In especially thick ice the Backing and Ramming method is employed. Basically the title is self descriptive. Glacier runs up and rams the piece of ice, where pressure from the ship weakens it, then she backs up and charges again, over and over. Beginning on 20 Jan 85 we employed this method for 17+ hours, in which we only moved 2 miles until we finally broke through to continue homewards. Helicopter support is very impor- tant to modern ice breaking especially in dense ice. The helos will fly ahead of the ship to scout our possible leads for us to follow, report the various concentrations of ice back to CIO where up to the minute ice charts are then drawn. Besides structural strength and modern equipment needed for ice breaking, the mental requirements of patience and perseverance are tremen- dous. Once again the crew of DF ' 85 triumphed over severe obstacles and danger using intelligence, skill, patience and humor. 73
