Australian Icebreaker Tries To Get Through To Stranded Antarctic Research Ship

Posted by timothy on Sunday December 29, 2013 @09:32AM from the good-on-'em dept.

The shipload of researchers and tourists stuck in the Antarctic ice are still stuck. A Chinese icebreaker, the Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, has gotten tantalizingly close but was hampered by "unusually thick ice." Now, an Australian vessel, the Aurora Australis, will attempt to rescue the 74 people aboard the MV Akademik Shokalskiy.

We could have an iceball earth scenario next year, and the surviving "climate scientists" would STILL claim it was CO2 emissions causing it.
