We easily crunched through the ice
opening up a path for the other ship!

Both ships stopped to see an Empire penguin out on the ice, he's too small to see here but usually they aren't in these waters this time of year.

Crunch, Crunch, Crunch!!

As we were about to break through the ice the penguins were scattering as the ship beared down on them.

It was amazing to see the ice crack in every direction.
