Norwegian Icebreaker Heads up Mississippi River

   


Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the Mississippi River
 

As you may have seen on the news it's been very cold in Minnesota .  So cold, in fact, that the US Corp of Engineers has borrowed a Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the Mississippi River for freighter traffic.  The Icebreaker is starting near Winona and working its way northward. 

Here is a picture as the hard work of ice breaking begins. Impressive!
