Ship spends 10th day stuck in frozen waters off Antarctica
A research ship has arrived to help rescue a Russian fishing vessel that struck ice and became stuck in the frozen waters off of Antarctica 10 days ago, officials in New Zealand said.
The Sparta hit underwater ice December 16, leaving a one-foot hole in the ship's hull, according to the New Zealand Rescue Coordination Center.
The ship has been stranded in an area about 2,000 miles from New Zealand, where the ice has been so thick that rescue ships have had difficulty getting close.
Since becoming stuck, 32 crew members have been working with rescuers to try to patch up the hole to keep the ship from sinking. They had been given tools dropped by a New Zealand Air Force plane, helping them pump out freezing water that was rushing into the ship.
But it has been difficult for the crew to both patch up the hole and pump out water, an official said.
"They are having difficulty in trying to fix a patch to the damaged part of the hull because they need to stop one of the pumps to do this, and then the water level creeps up again," Search and Rescue Mission Coordinator Neville Blakemore told the New Zealand Herald.
The research vessel Araon is beginning to pump fuel into the damaged ship in hopes of lifting the bow out of the water enough to expose the damaged area of the hull, search and rescue mission coordinator Mike Roberts said.
Once the ship's hull is out of the water, officials hope that they can weld metal plates to both the inside and outside of the damaged area.
"If successful, the repair is expected to render Sparta seaworthy and able to be escorted by Araon out of the sea ice to open water," the New Zealand Rescue Coordination Center said.

Hope the people get rescued soon! However I do find all these comments highly entertaining... going update my FB now,lol 😉
You mean ice still forms there? I thought everything was melting
the research ship that came to help was actually a south Korean ice breaker.
I'm a putz who thinks global warming means everything in the world is supposed to melt. A doy doy doy doy
No, just a putz.
people working together.
That's a pretty flattering picture of the "Bucket",should of been banned from anywhere near the Antarctic
AHHH the ghost of Shackelford returns....bwahahah
"The Endurance" makes this look like a day at the beach.
The buety and wonder is full of rage. As a common place grows, i see beauty.
It sure makes me want to go down and help this ship get back out to open waters and heading for home. It sounds like hard work, but it sure sounds like a fun time. If I didn't need a salary to survive, I'd go and do it for free.
Sounds like you've been watching too much Deadliest Catch.
global warming could solve this problem....
Can't they lift it out of the water with several helicopters? Jk!!
Robert Duvall could do it.
They should cast lots to see who they eat first. . .
Maybe since they now have resources there they can plow a path for those trapped whales...
I was rather hoping they could get some ice fishing done?
Global warming strikes again. I thought that by now the ice caps were supposed to have all melted off allowing us to boat safely in the north. Al Gore caused this.
You thought that becase of fox news?
Antartica is in the south, maybe you should get your facts about geography right before you lecture about Global Warming.
your brain is trapped in ice. Antartica is south.
See, all global warming deniers are not very smart, hence the reason they should not be allowed to dictate environmental policy. Antarctica is in the southern hemisphere, not the north. Jeez.
Antarctica is in the south, Genius.
Noth America slipped to the southern hemisphere? When did that happen?
South Pole, south,south,south....
And that girls and boys is the reason why we need you to go to school.....
the comment well illustrates the average educational ;level of the climate change deniers
so much for global warming
So much for your intellect.
Burn! Seriously though, why are global warming deniers so stupid?
