[h=1]Chopper rescue for Russian ship MV Akademik Shokalskiy as Aurora Australis is forced to abandon rescue bid[/h]
MOST of the passengers and some of the crew stranded on a scientific expedition ship off Antarctica will be evacuated by a Chinese helicopter should the weather allow, Russian authorities say.
"A decision has been reached to evacuate 52 passengers and four crew members by helicopter from China's Xue Long ship, should the weather allow," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement.


The Russian-flagged MV Akademik Shokalskiy has been stuck on an ice field since last week with 74 people on board. The multinational passenger list includes scientists as well as tourists and crew. Snow gusts that severely hampered visibility on Monday forced the icebreaker Aurora Australis to turn around, passengers aboard the stricken MV Akademik Shokalskiy had been told to prepare for the "worst case scenario".

The Moscow ministry's statement said its diplomats in Australia had received assurances from the MV Akademik Shokalskiy's Russian captain that everybody on board the ship was safe.

A statement from the Australasian Antarctic Expedition:

We're stuck in our own experiment. We came to Antarctica to study how one of the biggest icebergs in the world has altered the system by trapping ice. We followed Sir Douglas Mawson's footsteps into Commonwealth Bay, and are now ourselves trapped by ice surrounding our ship.

Sea ice is disappearing due to climate change, but here ice is building up. We have found this has changed the system on many levels. The increase in sea ice has freshened the seawater below, so much so that you can almost drink it. This change will have impacts on the deep ocean circulation.

:rofl2:

So much sea ice in Antarctica that a research vessel gets stuck, in summer!
 
God, the naïve tedium of these brain washed clowns! if it snows anywhere we can go on burning the world, they say over their rot-gut up in Lyncher's Landing1
 
these fact adverse fools need to be shamed publically into accepting reality.



stupid never wins the battle of facts
 
FTA:The increase in sea ice has freshened the seawater below, so much so that you can almost drink it.

I would argue it is you, crash et al, who suffer from brainwashing or the quote above would have raised alarms.

An increase in ice doesn't make the water below more fresh. Melting ice makes seawater less saline and thus more fresh.

Starved polar bear perished due to record sea-ice melt, says expert

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/aug/06/starved-polar-bear-record-sea-ice-melt

Climate change has reduced sea ice in the Arctic to record lows in the last year and Dr Ian Stirling, who has studied the bears for almost 40 years and examined the animal, said the lack of ice forced the bear into ranging far and wide in an ultimately unsuccessful search for food.
"From his lying position in death the bear appears to simply have starved and died where he dropped,"

Deal with facts not what you guess is correct or what the Koch brothers tells the Heritage foundation to tell you. But hey, you could give a rats ass about animals starving because of global warming. We know that.

There are bigger consequences.

Melting Glaciers May Affect Ocean Currents

The research found that freshwater entering the ocean from melting ice sheets can weaken the climate controlling part of the large-scale ocean circulation, with dramatic climate change as a consequence.

lmao... you say deal in 'facts' and then post the nonsense above?

So one polar bear dies, thousands live and it is because of melting sea ice that the bear died? Where is the evidence of that?
