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. Travelling with the crew of Icebreaker Otso, Horatio gets to know the men who make up her crew, and explores Finland's history and character.
