Tourists rescued on Antarctic cruise

Tourists rescued on Antarctic cruise

Over 80 passengers and crew have been rescued from an Antarctic cruise ship that ran aground.

The luxury Ushuaia cruise ship ran aground in Antarctica. 82 passengers and five crew were evacuated, but most of the crew stayed on board to try and help. Argentine sources said all the passengers were taken off the ship.

The Panamanian-flagged Ushuaia sent out an alarm around midday after suffering two cracks and a fuel leak and then began taking on water.

No one was injured when the ship hit a rock and became stuck 186 miles off Argentina's Marambio military base on the Antarctic Peninsula.
