So the US, Canada, and Finland just joined an icebreaker design consortium. And I’m wondering why Finland knows icebreakers. Do they need them in the baltic?
Finland leads the world
Following World War II, Finnish companies made rapid advancements in icebreaking technology, pushing the state of the art in icebreaking design, construction, power supply, and propulsion systems. Today, Finland is a global leader in icebreaker design and construction, with most of the world’s icebreakers originating from Finnish expertise. Naturally, every single icebreaker in service in Finland has been designed and constructed locally.
Doesn’t really fully answer the question, but yeah basically we have a lot of ice and shipping routes on the coastlines both west and south
I hate maps that don’t have North as up. Why why why.
As for this, usually there are rivers that drain into seas. You need to have a plan for those too. Here is the drainage basin for the baltic sea:
So no not feasible.
Where is that map from? At least two of the Finnish rivers are titled with the name of a tributary, but with the correct name.
Found on duck duck go images, vividmaps.com which looks like random maps.
Are you Finnish? I have a question if you are.
What’s the question?
