On Tuesday a team of seven icebreakers was battling with ice up to 40cm thick, several kilometres long, but the operation was suspended as the pack ice refused to flow into the sea, probably as a result of local currents and the lack of movement along the waterway. Andrzej Kreft, of the Water Management Authority, with almost 20 years experience in battling with ice commented to reporters from TVN24, “I can’t remember a situation like it.” Experts are hoping for a slow rise in temperatures, that will enable the accumulated water to flow normally. The likelihood of flooding increases with the rate of thaw and increases further if accompanied by fresh rainfall.
