The MV Akademik Shokalskiy, a "highly ice-strengthened" Russiantour ship built in Finland in 1984 "for polar and oceanographic research," is stranded in Antarctica's summer iCElwilh 74 passengers and crew members aboard. 7he group, which includes two Guardian journalists, is retracing the harrowing 1911 Antarctic expedition led by Sir Douglas Mawson, who lost many of his team members and nearly died himself on the frigid continent a century ago, The ship's passengers include an Australian research team led by University of New South Wales Professor Chris Turney, who said in November that the voluminous data collected by Mawson 100 years ago is critical to understanding global warming. But Turney reported that blizzard-like conditions and thick ocean ice are preventing the latest expedition from leaving. "Unfortunately proceeding north we found our patl1 blocked by ice 10 pushed in by an increasingly strong southeasterly wind, On Christmas Eve we realized we could not get through, in spite of being just 2 nautical miles from open water, ,. Turney reported in his blog. . "According to reports nobody is in present danger and three nearby icebreakers are being sent to assist", said Expeditionsonline.com, which books polar expeditions. The ship is "stuck part-way through her Australasian Antarctic Expedition towards Mawson's Hut at Cape Denison," located about 100 nautical miles east of Dumont 15 D'Urville, a French base on Antarctica, and 1,500 nautical miles south of Hobart in Tasmania. Three icebreakers-China's Xue Long, Australia's Aurora Australis, and France's L'Astrolabe-have been dispatched to the scene, according to the Australian Maritime' Safety Authority (AMSA), which is coordinating the international rescue after the Falmouth Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre in the United Kingdom received a satellite distress call Christmas morning. However, it will take the icebreakers at least two days to get to the 20 stranded ship, which "is experiencing very strong winds and limited Visibility." The closest rescue ship is not . expected to get to the scene until sometime Friday night "While it is early winter in the Arctic, it is early summer in the Antarctic. Continuing patterns seen in recent years, Antarctic sea ice extent remains unusually high, near or above previous daily maximum values," according to the Notional Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

Pembahasan

Teks tersebut secara garis besar membahas mengenai sebuah kapal tur untuk penelitian kutub dan kelautan yang berasal dari Rusia yang melanjutkan kembali ekspedisi Antartika 1911 terdampar di es musim panas kutub selatan yang pada akhirnya diselamatkan oleh tiga kapal penghancur es. Maka jawaban yang tepat adalah E karena intinya yang dibahas pada teks adalah kejadian kapal terdampar, kemudian dijelaskan kapal apa itu beserta penumpang, kru, dan tujuan ekspedisinya, dan proses bagaimana akhirnya mereka diselamatkan.
