As Matthew Chance and his crew headed to the Russian Arctic for their trip out on the icebreaker, they hit a few delays along the way.  The team got held up in Murmansk Province, where they spent some time exploring a Soviet-era hotel, with surprises along the way.

Matthew Chance takes us to one of the coldest corners of the Earth, the Arctic Circle, where he gets the rare opportunity to go on board a Russian icebreaker that's helping clear the way for ships moving into the oil-rich Arctic region.
