The BBC reports that the Antarctic rescue of Akademik Shokalskiy ship was completed.
There was a break in the weather and the passengers were transferred by the helicopter of the Chinese Snow Dragon from an ice floe by the stranded ship to another ice floe where they boarded a boat that took them to the Aurora Australis.
The crew stayed on the Akademik Shokalskiy, awaiting a heavy icebreaker or weather change to free the ship.
