Will they be charged in international court once the ice shifts and crushes the ship thus causing the fuel and oil to pollute the Antarctic?
Or is this a solar powered ship?

Send the bills for the rescue to Professor Chris Turney.
Once you add up all the time for the multiple icebreakers involved, the helecopter rescue, the fuel burned, the supplies consumed, etc. his foolish mission of discovery to document Global Warming damage to the ice sheild could turn out to be an expensive ego trip.

Since the sole purpose of the “expedition” was to study global warming (something the news media whores fail to explain in their constant new coverage) wouldn’t it be ironic if the ice claimed its “victim” and sent it to the bottom of the sea once it has been crushed completely and beyond repair. “There, that is what global warming does to idiots”
