    I love that he was seeing how the Antartic "has fared after a hundred years of climate changes.”.

    Fucking scammers.

    The article didn't mention that after they were rescued onto the Chinese icebreaker ship, that ship got stuck, and the US is sending in an icebreaker to rescue them.

    ^ at the end of this this article.

    Ice-breakers rescue operation continues
    Meanwhile, the US Coast Guard's powerful ice breaker, the Polar Star, is heading to Antarctica as the next phase of a rescue mission begins.

    It left Sydney yesterday headed for the stranded ship and is expected to take seven days to reach Commonwealth Bay where two ships are ice bound.

    The Russian ship Akademik Shokalskiy became stuck on Christmas Eve and the Chinese ice-breaker Xue Long was trapped attempting a rescue not long after.

    Allyson Conroy from the US Coast Guard says she is confident the Polar Star will be successful.

    "The commanding officer of the Polar Star has a lot of experience with ice-breaking; this is not his first gig - he's been doing this for a while," she said.

    "He understands ice, he understands ice-breaking, he understands what his ship can do and the limitations."

    The Polar Star has a specially built bow and reinforced hull that can break up to 1.8 metres of ice at three knots.

    Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis is on its way to Casey Station, after collecting the 52 tourists and scientists who were lifted by helicopter the stranded ship last Thursday.

    The Chinese ship used it's helicopter to move people from the Russian ship to the Australian ship. Then, the Chinese ship got stuck so everyone is on the Australian ship now. The Australian ship isn't stuck, but is waiting for American ship to arrive just in case.
