[2025 Batskarsnas ] Travel Guide for Polar Explorer Icebreaker (Updated Jun)

The first time I took an icebreaker in my life, it was not in Hokkaido where I had wanted to go for a long time, but in Lapland, Finland❄️❄️❄️ Depart from Rovaniemi, arrive at the Swedish border, and then start the Polar Explorer icebreaking journey! 😌 The Gulf of Bothnia, which is close to the Arctic Circle, is in a high latitude area. Because the weather is very cold in winter, large ice blocks are easily condensed on the sea surface, and icebreakers can open up shipping lanes. Polar Explorer is a multi-functional icebreaker. It was mainly used to transport cement to oil production sites in the Arctic Ocean. It can also carry up to 199 passengers. Although there was not much ice in December and the ice-breaking scene was not shocking, it was definitely an unforgettable experience! 💓💓💓 #2023 Travel Wish Hokkaido

Ice Breaking Tour We got on the polar explorer and were free to move around. We could see how the ship broke the ice from the deck. Indoor restaurant, lounge, movie room to see the history of icebreakers. The key is to swim in the ice water in a lobster outfit, the staff was very friendly to help us put on the lobster outfit, and a professional photographer helped us take pictures after we got into the water, we just need to enjoy it. After swimming, you can walk and take photos on the ice. Be careful not to go too far. Finally, you can go to the captain's room to see the captain sail 👍 Remember to get your certificate when you get off the ship #trip #March Good Places

During the Northern Europe Aurora Hunting trip, one of the stops was an icebreaker cruise like the "Polar Explorer"🚢. After boarding the ship, you will experience a 3-hour cruise in the icy sea, where you can feel the tremendous power of the ship breaking through the ice. When the icebreaker stays on the frozen sea, you can take a walk on the frozen sea ice or get off the ship and swim. Under the guidance of the staff, you can jump into the icy water crushed by the ship wearing a life jacket like a lobster dodge suit, and feel a new and cool experience on the glacier. The clothes have very strong heat preservation and buoyancy, so even those who can't swim don't have to worry. After the entire experience, a polar experience certificate will be issued as a souvenir. I didn’t get any certificates when I was in school, but when I grew up, I got a lot of certificates such as skydiving, bungee jumping, and Arctic Circle.
