Urgent Memo FAO: Rescue staff @ Ice Station 54
Deception Island, South Shetland
(Antarctic Peninsula)
Coastguards…The holiday cruiser ‘Sub Zero’ (carrying
24 holidaymakers from Polar Expeditions) has hit
densely packed ice off the coast of the Antarctic and is
now lying on its side close to the South Shetland Islands
(120 kilometres north of the Antarctic Peninsula 62°0’S,
58°0’W) in the Antarctic Ocean. Much of its equipment
has been lost in the water with the icy impact damaging
its rear propellers and engines.
You have a window of 12 hours maximum to devise a
rescue plan, after which it is estimated the ship will
become submerged and lives lost.
Good luck.
