The Argentine navy rescued four U.S. scientists and a contractor from an Antarctic camp after the US icebreaker due to pick them up could not reach them because of thick sea-ice on Sunday, March 11, 2018. The five were carrying out research on Joinville Island off the north-eastern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula. All five are in good health after being airlifted by helicopter onto the Argentine icebreaker Almirante Irízar. They will be transferred back to the Laurence M Gould when weather conditions improve.
