Blasting the Ice Pier!

There is a large ice shelf that has formed in the pier that is blocking the ships from coming in.  Today they used explosives and blasted it out, it was pretty awesome to watch.  Here is the footage....


I guess when its costing $60,000/day to have the ships anchored just outside of McMurdo, you have to do something!...
