Icebreaker Sampo check-in Review

The icebreaker Kami. The icebreaker trip on the Arctic Circle began in 1960. The icebreaker is now not used by the science team, but instead is used by tourists to experience sightseeing. The icebreaker is really an unforgettable experience in the Arctic Circle. The whole trip is about 4 hours, it is best to participate in the morning and the afternoon may come back when it will be darker, be sure to feel the ice breaking in the bow.

The Samp is an icebreaker docked in Kemi, a major seaport city in the Finnish Lapland region, specializing in passenger icebreakers for tourist cruises. As of 2013, the Samp is Finland’s most distinctive “excellent tourism product” and has received nearly 200,000 visitors from more than 50 countries around the world. The Samp cruise starts at the port of Ajos in Kemi City and takes about four hours. The Sampson icebreaker cruise runs from mid-December to early May of the following year. Every winter from December to May, the northern part of the Gulf of Podnia forms a few feet of sea ice. According to the historical meteorological records of the Finnish Meteorological Agency, the average ice age at Ajos port in Kemi is 177 days per year; for nearly 20 years, despite the challenges of global warming, the annual ice age at Ajos port has remained between 140-196 days. In the face of the frozen sea, the icebreaker became an essential vehicle. The Samp has been in service on the ice sea in the Gulf of Podnia since 1961. In 1987, Samp became the first professional icebreaker in the world to specialize in tourist cruises.

It is worth experiencing. There is an offshore wind generator on the sea near the port, the sea is frozen, and a white world of ice and snow. The cold wind blows, and the skin is stinging, but the mood is extremely comfortable.

This icebreaker was retired for everyone to visit science. The children liked it very much. It was spectacular to drive on the frozen Baltic Sea.

The experience of taking the icebreaker is still very shocking and special, recommended experience

Three years ago, I took my children to the extreme cold place and boarded an icebreaker.

The icebreaker is magnificent, spectacular, and the moment the bow presses to the ice, the power is super shocking
