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:
““Darling,
will you come home today
after a few hours,
or at noon,
or a little later,
or when the whole day’s passed?”
A young wife
with tearful words stuck in her throat
spoils the departure of her man
who wishes to go to a land
that takes a hundred days
to reach.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“I want a revamped feminism. Putting the vamp back means the lady must be a tramp. My generation of the Sixties rebels wanted to smash the bourgeois codes that had become authoritarian totems of the Fifties.... Thirty years later, we’re still stuck with the [”nice” girl].”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
