Abstract
Arctic navigation has always been a challenge both to the mariner and his vessel. Before the epoch of icebreakers, many polar expeditions used conventional ships, which were often strengthened to cope with the ice-infested waters of the Arctic Ocean. Unfortunately, little is known on the design of this technology and its effectiveness. This paper aims to give some insights on this problem by describing the ice protection used during a Soviet Northern Sea Route expedition staged by the GULAG of the NKVD in 1939.
