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".

Famous quotes containing the words stuck in, stuck and/or ice:
“It is as real
as splinters stuck in your ear. The noise we steal
is half a bell. And outside cars whisk by on the suburban street
and are there and are true.
What else is this, this intricate shape of air?
calling me, calling you.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Suspicion all our lives shall be stuck full of eyes;
Treason is but trusted like the fox,
Who never so tame, so cherished and locked up,
Will have a wild trick of his ancestors.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A young person is a person with nothing to learn
One who already knows that ice does not chill and fire does not burn . . .
It knows it can spend six hours in the sun on its first
day at the beach without ending up a skinless beet,
And it knows it can walk barefoot through the barn
without running a nail in its feet. . . .
Meanwhile psychologists grow rich
Writing that the young are ones’ should not
undermine the self-confidence of which.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
