Reuters: A Chinese icebreaker that helped rescue 52 passengers from a Russian ship stranded in Antarctic ice found itself stuck in heavy ice on Friday, further complicating the 9-day "roller-coaster" rescue operation. The Snow Dragon had ferried the passengers from the stranded Russian ship to an Australian icebreaker late on Thursday. It now had concerns about its own ability to move through heavy ice, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said. "It will attempt to maneuver through the ice...

Antarctic ship: Third rescue bid halted bad weather

BBC: A third attempt to rescue a ship stranded off East Antarctica since Tuesday has failed because of fierce winds and poor visibility. An Australian icebreaker trying to reach the Russian scientific mission ship was forced to turn back. Earlier attempts by Chinese and French icebreakers to reach the Russian ship Akademik Shokalskiy were also foiled by the thick ice. The Shokalskiy is stocked with food and is in no danger, its team says. Seventy-four scientists, tourists and crew are on the...
