Russian, US Icebreakers To
Help McMurdo In Antarctica

1-10-5
 
ST. PETERSBURG (Interfax-Northwest) - The Krasin icebreaker of Russia and an icebreaker of the U.S. Coast Guard will start a joint operation to help the U.S. McMurdo station in Antarctica on January 20, head of the Russian Antarctica expedition Valery Lukin told Interfax on Thursday.
 
"Five icebergs have run aground near the station and ice cannot flow out from the bay. The ice is 3.5 meters thick in the bay, and the station supply is difficult," Lukin said.
 
McMurdo is the largest station in Antarctica, which can host about 5,000 people at the same time.
