Many ships that travel in polar regions can get stuck in thick layers of sea ice. These ice formations can be several meters thick and pose a significant obstacle to ships trying to navigate through the region. Ships may become trapped in the ice, requiring assistance from icebreakers or other specialized vessels to free them.
