Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the Mississippi

(As the e-mail stated it...)


How's this for international cooperation!

Norwegian Icebreaker heads up the Mississippi River.


As you may have seen on the news it's been very cold in Iowa.

So cold, in fact, that the US Army Corp of Engineers has borrowed a visiting Norwegian Icebreaker to clear the Mississippi River for freighter traffic. The Icebreaker is starting near Davenport and working its way northward.


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