The crew of the Polar Star, a 399-foot heavy icebreaker, is working to create a channel in the ice surrounding McMurdo Station in order to bring in refuel and resupply vessels as part of Operation Deep Freeze — the U.S. military’s contribution to the National Science Foundation-managed, civilian U.S. Antarctic Program.
