Global Warming: Russian Cruiser stuck in Antarctic Ice

Oh, boy Al Gore is not getting to be happy. The Russian cruise liner Akademik Shokalskiy has been stuck at sea since Christmas morning, once it had been taken over by ice on the edge of the continent. 

The ship contacted the Australian Maritime Safety Authority for help, and three icebreakers that were within the region are racing through blizzard conditions to reach the vessel.

Sure, this happens despite everything it is the Antarctic Ice Cap, however typically it happens throughout the winter. In the southern hemisphere, December 25 is right smack in the middle of summer. The ice cap is meant to retreat not freeze up and lock ships in the ice. Heck, in line with the global warming freaks, there is not even supposed ice left in Antarctica. Do not worry though, the need find the way to justify this latest summer blizzard.

The Chinese ship Snow Dragon (Xue Long) is predicted to reach the ship Friday. In addition, the French vessel Astrolabe and the Australian ship, the Aurora Australis, can arrive before long once, according to Chris Turney, a professor of climate change at the University of New South Wales, Australia. 

The passengers include twenty-two crew and fifty-two tourists, scientists and explorers. The ship that left New Zealand last month, is on a special research voyage to honor the one hundredth day of remembrance of famed Australian explorer Douglas Mawson.

Thankfully, it looks as if the seventy-four people on the ship are going to be all right.
