Captain of Snow Dragon: waiting for better weather

Earlier, the Captain of Chinese icebreaker Snow Dragon, Wang Jianzhong said the bad weather is still hindering the rescue work.

"The Australian icebreaker Aurora Australis has arrived the sea area nearby last night. But due to the storm, the visibility here is just about nil. Aurora Australis is still waiting outside the frozen area for a better weather condition. The snowstorm is still going on this morning. We will later try to push forward again to measure the ice condition here. We have contacts with Aurora Australis and three ships will discuss the rescue plan for the next step when weather here coming better." said Capt. Wang Jianzhong, Snow Dragon.
