Those guys just can’t catch a break!

Trip back to land for rescued ship passengers in Antarctica on hold again over fears their rescue vessel could also get stuck in the ice.

The ship carrying the rescued researchers is now standing by in case the Chinese vessel gets stuck. And ’round and ’round we go!
@ABC7 This story just writes itself, doesn't it.

I would go on tweeting the irony of #ClimateChange ships getting stuck in freak mid-summer ice storms, but I'm afraid of getting stuck.
