中国科考船“雪龙”号人船安全 正择机脱困

在成功完成对俄罗斯“绍卡利斯基院士”号52名被困乘客的救援后，中国“雪龙”号破冰船受复杂海冰和水文气象条件等影响，受困于南极密浮冰区。不过船上所有船员以及科考工作人员的处境都十分安全，雪龙号正在设法摆脱困境。本周一雪龙号启动主机拓宽“破冰跑道”，准备在强劲西风作用下将彻底走出困境。


The icebreaker Xuelong became trapped in heavy sea ice on Friday, one day after its helicopter Xueying evacuated all 52 passengers from the stranded Russian ship Akademik Shokalskiy to the Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis. All crew and passengers are safe and making efforts to get out of trouble. The icebreaker Xuelong warmed up its engine and tried to broaden an "ice-breaking runway" on Monday, preparing for a possible westerly wind favorable for its bid for freedom.
