Five km between supports? That is quite a catenary.

Indeed it is. I wonder how much the transmission line drops in elevation over the sea....

The ice loading staggers the mind....

I get about 2400 lbs for the ice but it's a distributed load.

2400 lbs of ice that's some strong cable..:thumbsup:

Amazing...

Looks like more of a structural project than an electrical transmission project.... maybe use the spare cable as a gondola cable... LOL.

Incredible, This needs to be on the show "How Do They Do That" (or some other science channel show.
