Life on trapped Chinese icebreaker (1/8)

Members of Chinese Antarctic exploration team read books at a library on the icebreaker Xuelong, or Snow Dragon, in Antarctica, Jan. 5, 2014. The icebreaker has been trapped by heavy floes since it rescued passengers on a Russian vessel stranded in Antarctica. Parts of the scientific research on Xuelong are underway while all crew and passengers aboard the research vessel are making efforts to get out of trouble. (Xinhua/Zhang Jiansong)
