The NORTHWIND Breaking Ice of the Bay of Whales. The Antarctic. The World of Ice. During the Byrd Expedition to the Antarctic, the Coast Guard's icebreaker NORTHWIND broke out passages for the accompanying thin-hulled vessels. Here the NORTHWIND is hard at work in the Bay of Whales, at the outer extremity of the Ross Ice Shelf, seen in the background. The ice in the Bay of Whales averaged about 12 feet in thickness.
