Sampo Ice Cruising

The ice was close to three feet thick as the Sampo crushed through it. It is the sound that is stricking when steel meets ice. Sampo is an ice cruiser and it was used to keep the shipping lanes open here above the arctic circle. It now is the only ice cruiser that the public can cruise on. The sheets of thick ice are no match for the three layer steel hull and they crack like puzzle pieces. You can also don a survivor suit and float in the super chilled sea waters, a thrill. The Sampo reminds me of the Finnish spirit, uncrushable.
