Emperor Penguins Antarctica 2007

Her name is the Kapitan Khlebnikov. She's a working icebreaker of Russian registry staffed with an all-Russian crew. She isn't beautiful, but you wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley. She's a very powerful ship. These days, she does tourism in the austral spring/summer in Antarctica . After that, she moves north where she does mostly oil exploration during the Arctic summer. Until recently, she was used for tourism in the Arctic too, but global warming has opened up much of the area so that icebreakers can now make their way to potential oil fields. Not good.
