The team of scientists studying global warming, along with the tourists they brought with them, are still stuck in the ice in Antarctica:

An Antarctic blizzard has halted an Australian icebreaker’s bid to reach a Russian ship trapped for a week with 74 people onboard, rescuers said on Monday.
The Aurora Australis had to return to open waters about 18 nautical miles from the stranded Akademik Shokalskiy because of poor visibility, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), which is coordinating the rescue, told Reuters.
The Australian vessel had reached as close as about 10 nautical miles from the trapped ship before turning back.
“The weather condition is not safe for it to proceed, and it’s gone back to open water,” said AMSA spokeswoman Lisa Martin.
A Chinese icebreaker, the Snow Dragon, has been halted by thick ice within sight of the ship. The Snow Dragon had a helicopter on board that could be used to rescue passengers if the Aurora Australis failed to get through, AMSA said earlier, but the aircraft was grounded by the snow.
“We can’t fly a helicopter in these conditions either. There is essentially nothing we can do at this point of time,” Martin said.
The Aurora Australis would have to wait for the weather to improve before a second rescue attempt, she added.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, the coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in Antarctica.
