Hop on Canada’s only research icebreaker, the CCGS Amundsen, live from the Arctic. The Amundsen is a 98-meter-long vessel designed to navigate through thick ice. Inside the icebreaker, they have all they need to accommodate 80 passengers such as a cafeteria, a lounge, showers and restrooms, beds… they even have a laundry and a game room!
What makes the Amundsen unique, is its high-tech equipment to measure winds, currents, air temperatures, and to collect various marine species, seabed sediments, ice and salt water! From June to October, the ship welcomes scientists and professionals from all over the world to explore Canada’s northern seas and to better understand the challenges of the Arctic.
