North of 55 is ice sheets. South 55 is Cape Horn. Not saying it can’t be done. Just not something you just “do” except for Vikings.

- jefftk 3y agoNorth of 55 has ice, but isn't all ice sheets. The most extreme example is probably the warm water port of Murmansk at 68° 58'.
- reactordev 3y agoOnly because of the North Atlantic Gulf Stream bringing warmer waters. Everywhere else around there is closed in the winter due to ice. Murmansk is a freak of nature, an exception to the rule, like how you can’t freeze vodka in a normal freezer.
