May Icebreaking Operations in Thunder Bay

















I made a trip up to Thunder Bay yesterday and this is what I saw going on out on the lake.  A Coast Guard icebreaker had just cleared a path through the ice to the open water near Pie Island and had turned around to head back into the bay.  A freighter was following close behind.  I captured this image from the shoreline of the Fort William First Nation as the icebreaker was heading back into the bay just before it passed by the freighter.  The Sleeping Giant Peninsula is in the background, with the Head of the Giant on the left side of the photo.
