| Sea ice stalls complex Antarctic rescue bid Wednesday, Jan 01, 2014 08:00 PM PST  Sea ice stalled a planned helicopter rescue of passengers on a Russian ship trapped in frozen Antarctic seas Thursday, despite improved weather conditions that had raised hopes the complex operation could proceed. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority had planned to begin an airlift of 52 passengers from the Akademik Shokalskiy after heavy rain and winds cleared at the site, 100 nautical miles east of the French base Dumont d'Urville. The group, stranded in pack ice since December 24, was to be flown to a nearby Chinese icebreaker Xue Long using its helicopter and transferred by barge to the more distant Australian resupply vessel Aurora Australis before leaving the Antarctic. But the complex, multi-vessel operation hit a snag when the Aurora Australis's barge was unable to reach the Xue Long due to sea ice, forcing AMSA to call off the bid. Full Story | Top |

| Helicopter to free ship passengers trapped in Antarctic ice Wednesday, Jan 01, 2014 03:42 PM PST  A helicopter from a Chinese icebreaker is set to lift passengers from a Russian ship stranded in Antarctic since Christmas Eve, putting an end to a nine-day international rescue cooperation. The helicopter on the Snow Dragon has been waiting on standby for better weather conditions to start the rescue operation. Two other vessels, Australia's Aurora Australis and a French flagged ship, also tried to help but failed to reach the ship due to high wind and heavy snow. "Weather conditions have improved in the area and rescue operations are likely to commence shortly by helicopter," the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), which is coordinating the rescue, said on Thursday morning.
