Icebreaker

'We are celebrating a hundred years since independence this year: how would you like to travel on a government icebreaker?' A message from the Finnish embassy launches Horatio Clare on a voyage around an extraordinary country and an unearthly place, the frozen Bay of Bothnia, just short of the Arctic circle.

„Sarbatorim anul acesta o suta de ani de la independenta: cum ti-ar placea sa calatoresti pe un spargator de gheata?” Un mesaj al ambasadei finlandeze il lanseaza pe Horatio Clare intr-o calatorie in jurul unei tari extraordinare si a unui loc nepamantean, Golful inghetat al Botniei, aflat la scurta distanta de cercul arctic.
