ANTARCTICA-CHILE-SHIPPING-ACCIDENT-PASSENGERS
Passengers from the sea cruiser MS Explorer, who had to be abandoned after she hit an iceberg off Antarctica, disembark in King George Island, South Shetland, to be taken to Chile's Eduardo Frei military base on November 23rd, 2007. All 154 passengers and crew were loaded into lifeboats and taken by another ship to nearby Chilean and Uruguayan military bases in Antarctica. They are expected to be flown to southern Chile or Argentina later on Saturday. The Explorer, a Liberian-registered cruiseliner that was chartered by a Canadian tour company, struck an iceberg off near the island of San Carlos early Friday and sank at about 1830 GMT that same day, according to Chilean military officials.
