Petty Officer 3rd Class Kenan Butler, aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Thunder Bay, braces through a barrage of ice blowing from the frozen Kennebec River, in Gardiner, Maine, during icebreaking operations March 27, 2014. The Thunder Bay began icebreaking on the river to relieve flood potential as spring appears on the horizon. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 2nd Class Rob Simpson.)
