I've always thought of military ships as very uncomfortable places to live in...

My experience tend to confirm nsaspook's, albeit, in an SD14, classic freighter of British design, the Master's cabin (mine), located immediately below the bridge wings, offered 38ºC (100º F) at nap time...

Common vessels trapped in ice, in high seas, mean a real problem. A serious concern is the pressure of the surrounding ice that could damage the hull. Ice breakers tend to have not that problem.
Also keep in mind that maneuvering in ice, you could eventually damage your propellers.

This could make for an interesting reading. And this as well.

And something here to watch, of course.

The weird thing was losing your sea legs when in port. You feel like the solid ground under you is swaying as if you're still on waves. After months a sea we could walk a straight line in a hurricane conditions but on the pier it seems like a earthquake was happening. This can last for days, strong drinks help.

Talking of tight living quarters!
They are just refurbishing a museum gallery devoted to the little ship that opened up the Canadian north for the Hudson Bay Co.
Called the Nonsuch, a 53ft Ketch built in 1650. In the 1960's, the Hudson bay commissioned the original boat yard in Devon to reproduce a replica which they intended to sail over to N. America.
I visited her moored in the Thames in London, At that time I was planning to emigrate to Canada and as a amateur sailor I would have loved to have been part of the crew.
What a thing to boast , yea I came over on the Nonsuch!
Unfortunately due to her getting 'lost' in the English channel, Hudson Bay decided to ship her across the Atlantic where she toured the states until reaching the Museum in 1973.
The original was a supply ship for her majesty's navy.
Max.

I got to crew on her. I would climb to the first spar but no higher. My buddy went all the way to the royals. After thinking about it, he was the smart one. If he fell he would be dead. If I fell I would be wishing I was dead.

A large chunk of ice fell from the skies over Kew, London, on Wednesday morning, smashing into a roadway and sending shards of ice and snow toward two shocked passersby.

Who left the ice chest open on the flying saucer?

 

That looks good.

The issue here is, is the image on the left different than the one on the right, or are they the same?

They seem to be each taken at a slightly different angle. Otherwise the are the same.

Yeah, that's the optical illusion that they have ... but they're exactly the same image. You can tell by comparing the edges instead of the centers of the pictures.
