Radiosilence details the mesmerizing journey seen above:
The Nathaniel B. Palmer is an icebreaker operated by the US National Science Foundation. Cassandra Brooks, one of the 37 scientists the ship can accomodate for missions of up to 75 days and deep in the Antarctic winter, shot this timelapse video of the ship doing its stuff over a two month period while traveling through the Ross Sea.
Brooks has been blogging about her trip as well. Watch an additional video of the work done on the ship here.
