- 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.
