Poor visibility halts rescue of ship frozen in Antarctic
Gusty
snow showers which hampered visibility on Monday forced back an
Australian icebreaker struggling to reach a scientific expedition ship
stranded off Antarctica, and also prevented a helicopter rescue,
authorities said. The Aurora Australis made it to within 10 nautical
miles of the MV Akademik Shokalskiy, which is stuck in an ice field,
before retreating in the face of freezing winds and snow showers. "The
area where the MV Akademik Shokalskiy is beset by ice is currently
experiencing winds of up to 30 knots and snow showers," the Australian
Maritime Safety Authority said. "These weather conditions have resulted
in poor visibility and made it difficult and unsafe for the Aurora
Australis to continue today's attempt to assist the MV Akademik
Shokalskiy."Read More ...

other cable systems," Spiegel quoted the NSA documents as saying.Read More ...
