Canadian Research Icebreaker - CCGS Amundsen

Canadian Research Icebreaker - CCGS Amundsen: "CCGS Amundsen has been a major catalyst to revitalize Canadian Arctic science by providing Canadian researchers and their international collaborators with unprecedented access to the Arctic Ocean. The CCGS Amundsen is the first research icebreaker in the world to have undertaken two over-wintering expeditions in the Arctic. The ship’s facilities and sophisticated equipment make it a versatile research platform not only for oceanographers, but for geologists, terrestrial ecologists and epidemiologists as well."
