I just caught a brief BBC story about 7 lost Russian researchers. Their basecamp was destroyed by a massive ice ridge, the immediate ice sheet broken up. They are afloat somewhere in the winter dark with a week's supply of provisions. A difficult SAR is underway. May the spirit of Shakelton be with them.
