That New Years Eve an interview with expedition leader Chris Turney was beamed live to Times Square in New York. Two days later, the rescue effort entered a new phase. With no icebreaker able to smash way through, a Chinese helicopter, Xue Ying, or Snow Eagle, rose into the air for the first of five flights to ferry passengers from the stricken ship to the Aurora Australis. A core crew remained behind to sail vessel home once conditions allowed.
Media interest in the expedition faded after the rescue, but in the year since Turney and his team have been busy. Scientific samples and measurements from the voyage are being turned into research papers that reveal striking changes at the southern ice cap. And rather than feeling discouraged about expeditions that are funded by paying passengers, Turney is more enthusiastic than ever.
Once we got back home and made sure everyone was all right, we got on with working up the data and getting a whole load of papers ready for submission, Turney said. Like the rescue mission, this involved plenty of waiting. It took nearly six months to get all the samples through quarantine.

warning from Antarctica?
Let me guess;
It’s really hot down there and we’re all gonna die.
What is also true is that Antarctica is a large desert continent, which given its’ conditions has potential to get pretty cold.
Leads me to wonder why we don’t see a GEICO commercial like this.
Nope. Neither were. Remember the blood test? Every part of the thing was a living entity that struggled to survive. What does alcohol do to tissue? Why did Mac seem to relax after Childs took a drink? Because if he was a thing, his mouth tissue, et al., would have reacted against the alcohol. It was all a test by Mac to see if Childs was a thing...
