Overview
The short film describes the icebreaker ships of the era, used to break through thick pack ice off the coast of Greenland. The narrator describes the processes through which helicopters perform reconnaissance missions to avoid the icebreakers encountering large icebergs and other obstacles. The difficulty in making large deliveries by ship to base stations, such as Thule, is shown through the film's dramatic filmography of Arctic glaciers and icebergs, highlighting too the remote nature of the work.
