Some serious irony here.
It seems that a number of global warming scientists and tourists are stuck in unexpected sea-ice near Antarctica - IN SUMMER. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Blush.gif" alt="" />
Professor Chris Turney, the expedition's leader, is a scientist and entrepreneur. Dr. Turney started and directs a company called Carbonscape which specializes in carbon sequestration.
While they are putting on a good face, their situation is perilous. The ship could be crushed according to what I'm reading, and several rescue attempts have failed because of 4-meter thick ice. Unprecedented ice at this time of year.
I pray for the safety of the rescuers and those in peril.
