Russian icebreaker to assist U.S. polar explorers
A Russian icebreaker will assist U.S. polar explorers in escorting convoys of cargo ships with supplies for U.S. research stations in Antarctica, the U.S. National Science Foundation said, RIA Novosti reports. A one-year contract on the use of the Vladimir Ignatyuk diesel icebreaker stipulates that the vessel will maintain an open water canal in the ice floe covering the McMurdo Bay to ensure timely deliveries of cargoes, especially fuel, to the McMurdo Station and the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station. The United States asked Russia for assistance after Sweden had announced that its Oden icebreaker could no longer render services for U.S. scientists. http://en.rian.ru/russia/20110826/166186541.html
