Icy Rescue as Seas Claim a Cruise Ship - New York Times

Good reporting by the Times for a ship sinking in a remote area of the world. Carol and I have talked about an Antarctic cruise sometime in the future. These things happen, I suppose, so the possibility must be part of our thinking.

The reports suggest that the evacuation was orderly and well managed. The passengers are all safe and the weather was cooperating with sunny calm seas as the Explorer was abandoned to its icy grave. Fortunately, other ships were nearby to pick up the passengers and give aid.

Hopefully we will read more soon to determine how the ship struck a berg.
