What will UK's new icebreaker look like?

The UK is to get one of the biggest, most capable polar research vessels in the world, a £200m icebreaker.

The ship is likely to be 130m long and sport a helipad, cranes, onboard labs, and have the ability to deploy subs and other ocean survey and sampling gear.

The BBC takes a closer look at the vessel.
