Chinese Icebreaker Is Stuck In Ice After Antarctic Research Vessel Rescue
New submitter Cochonou writes "In an unforeseen turn of events, the Sydney Morning Herald reports that the Chinese icebreaker Xue Long is now stuck in heavy Antarctic pack ice, just a day after its helicopter was used for the rescue of the passengers onboard the ice-trapped MV Akademik Shokalskiy. The Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis, which is now carrying the passengers of the Shokalskiy, has been placed on standby to assist. The Chinese vessel is waiting for favorable tidal conditions on Saturday to make another attempt at freeing itself."
Or how the frackin antarctic works. It's much more relevant here that we're talking about the single coldest region of the planet. What everyone needs to remember is that deniers are idiots who think it is all or nothing, and the idea of the south pole being cold or it snowing anywhere is somehow relevant.
Their minds do not work correctly, because even a trivial examination of the ideas here would reveal the problem with this thinking. They do it anyways.
I suggest you watch THIS instructional video.
