Coast Guard Cutters Shackle and Tackle break ice and create sea smoke along the Penobscot River in Brewer, Maine, Feb. 11, 2014. Both 65-foot cutters broke through the nearly 20-inch thick ice to allow open water to flow. Sea smoke is formed when the water temperature is much warmer than the surrounding air.
