This story is far from over because the Polar Star is rated at breaking ice less than 1 meter thicker than the stuck Chinese icebreaker.

Are you sure about that? The Polar Star can break ice 21 feet thick.

The Polar Star can break ice up to 21 ft think. I don’t believe the Chinese ship was that capable
