Stuck in The Ice
The Kapitan Khlebnikov was trapped in Antarctic ice in mid November 2009. The Guardian reports that 101 passengers, mainly United Kingdom citizens, were among the 184 trapped ship's complement. Three of the UK passengers were a BBC film crew, working on a documentary. The documentary is scheduled to be broadcast in 2011, and the project is currently entitled "Frozen Planet". The excursion was called the "Emperor Penguin Safari", and was arranged by an adventure travel firm called "Exodus".
