Located in the most northern area and the highest latitude among all the sea oil fields in China, Jinzhou 9-3 Oil Field in Liaodong Bay, northeastern Liaoning Province stays in “Ice Age” from every year’s December to next year’s March. /People’s Daily Photo
The flow of the ice in the sea can cause damage to the oil production platform at any time, thus ice-breaker vessels constantly clear up the ice around the platform. /People’s Daily Photo
As the platform is located near the bay, there are a lot of sand mixed in the ice, which makes the ice harder and more difficult to break. /People’s Daily Photo
15 crews including the captain stay on the ice-breaker vessel. They stay at sea every day and can only return to the harbor for supply every 10 days. /People’s Daily Photo
