The Canadian Coast Guard Cutter Louis S. St. Laurent working in the Beaufort Sea, seen from the USCGC Healy on the 2010 International Extended Continental Shelf Survey. Note the bubbler system at the bow of the Louis, which enhances its icebreaking capabilities by lifting ice around the bow and wetting the surface of the ice. Filmed by PolarTREC teacher Bill Schmoker.
