Sampo Icebreaker
The Sampo Icebreaker is a powerful vessel designed to navigate through icy waters, primarily operating in the Gulf of Bothnia. Built in 1960, it serves both commercial and tourist purposes, helping to keep shipping lanes open during winter months. The icebreaker is equipped with a reinforced hull that allows it to break through thick ice, ensuring safe passage for other ships.
Today, the Sampo Icebreaker also offers guided tours, allowing visitors to experience the unique environment of the frozen sea. Passengers can enjoy activities like ice fishing and walking on the ice, making it a popular attraction in Finland.
