WorldPolar bears force nuclear-powered icebreakers to change course

Crews aboard nuclear-powered icebreakers adapt when polar bears block their path. They may alter the vessel’s course or wait patiently until the animals move away. Marina Starovoytova, described as the world’s first female captain of a nuclear-powered icebreaker, said these are the ways crews respond to the encounters. The wildlife can therefore affect the ships’ progress through the ice.
