She was launched in 1915 as the Isbrytaren II, and was a conventionally constructed Baltic icebreaker, with a strengthened bow shaped to be lifted up onto the ice to crush it and a forward facing screw to push water and crushed ice along the side of the hull.

Although she was the country's first large icebreaker, she was owned by the city of Stockholm and used to keep the channels around it clear of ice. She was also sometimes used outside of the Stockholm area by the Swedish government since they had contributed towards her cost.<br />

She was renamed in 1958 during an extensive refit, which saw her converted from coal to oil, the bridge was enclosed to protect the deck crew from the weather, and radar and radio fitted.<!-- direct url: 'http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&cp=59.327186~18.090861&sty=o&lvl=2&tilt=-90&dir=0&alt=-1000&scene=18076248&encType=1' -->]]></description>

PFS Polarstern (meaning pole star) is a German research icebreaker of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven. The Polarstern was put into commission in 1982 and is mainly used for research in the Arctic and Antarctica.<br />
<br />
Polarstern was built by the Howaldtswerke/Deutsche Werft at Kiel and the Werft Nobiskrug at Rendsburg. The ship has a length of 118 metres (387 feet).<br />

Polarstern is a double-hulled icebreaker. It is operational at temperatures as low as -50 °C. (-58°F) Polarstern can break through ice 1.5 metres thick at a speed of 5 knots. Thicker ice must be broken by ramming.<br />

She was built by the Vulcan Werft, Stettin 1912-14 for the Russian government as the Tsar Mihhail Feodorovits. During the Russian Revolution she was renamed Volynets and in March 1918 she was captured by the Finns and renamed Wäinämöinen. She was then handed over to Estonia in 1922 and again renamed. Now she became Suur Tõll after a mythological hero from Saaremaa. In 1940 she was captured by the Soviets and became Volynets again and served until early 1980's. Today she ibelongs to Eesti Meremuuseum (Estonian Maritime Museum) and is currently undergoing restoration.<!-- direct url: 'http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&ll=59.45502500,24.73774000&q=Estonia&spn=0.001224,0.003294' -->]]></description>
