World Briefing | Antarctica: First Attempts Fail to Free Ship Stranded by Heavy Ice

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 28 Desember 2013 | 15.49

Icebreakers sent to free a stranded Russian research ship, the Akademik Shokalskiy, off Antarctica were stopped by heavy ice within sight of the ship, officials said early Saturday. A Chinese icebreaker in the area, the Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, was asked to divert toward the Shokalskiy, which is carrying members of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition and became stuck in the ice on Tuesday about 1,700 miles south of Tasmania. A spokeswoman for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said the Xue Long was about seven miles from the Shokalskiy when the ice became too thick to cut through. A French icebreaker also could not clear a path to the ship, said an expedition spokesman. The ships will await the arrival of an Australian icebreaker, which has a greater icebreaking capacity, he said.
