AUSTRALIA-ANTARCTICA-RUSSIA-RESCUE


This image taken by Andrew Peacock of www.footloosefotography.com on December 28, 2013 shows expedition leader Greg Mortimer with the ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy, which is trapped in the ice at sea off Antarctica. A Chinese icebreaker has failed to break through thick ice to free a ship carrying scientists and tourists stranded off Antarctica, forcing Australian authorities to look at other rescue options on December 28. The ship is carrying scientists and tourists who are following the Antarctic path of explorer Sir Douglas Mawson a century ago, details of which at www.spiritofmawson.com, and have been carrying out the same scientific experiments his team conducted during the 1911-1914 Australian Antarctic Expedition -- the first large-scale Australian-led scientific expedition to the frozen continent.
