Sealing Ship Wins Battle With Ice Pack
The Theron, a 829 ton sealing ship carrying Britain's antarctic expedition, broke free from the Weddell Sea ice after four weeks and began steaming to Wahsel Bay to establish a base for 17 crew and scientists. A helicopter assisted, dropping beer to the crew, while Royal Geographical Society officials warned two more days in ice would have doomed the mission before winter. Another British ship, Tottan, also dodged ice and began base setup as British and international teams prepare for the International Geophysical Year observations across Antarctica.
