My heart goes out to all those poor people trapped on board the MV Akademik Shokalskiy which is trapped in ice down in the Antarctic.

They have managed to get a video out of how tough things are on board. Let's hope they are rescued very soon and their nightmare is over. God speed and happy new year to them all...

Two of the ice-breakers sent have themselves become icebound.

Speculation now is that they will be helicoptered out.

It's just heartbreaking watching that video and seeing the suffering they are going through.

Terrible feeling, to be so stuck with no apparent way out.
