The Australian icebreaker Aurora¹ Australis has run aground in Antarctica during a mission to resupply the Mawson Station after it broke free of its moorings in a blizzard².

澳大利亚破冰船南极光号向南极洲莫森站运输补给，在暴风雪中摆脱冰雪束缚之后搁浅。

Nearly 70 members of the expedition and crew were on board the ship at the time. All are said to be safe and well.

The Australian Antarctic Division has announced that a US aircraft will help in the rescue effort of those stranded³.

The ship remains⁴ watertight, but poor weather has hampered⁵ a full assessment⁶ of the damage.

Australian Antarctic Division Director Nick Gales⁷ explains the situation.

"We're hopeful that we can backload the passengers on board and continue on with our planned visit to Davis Station and back to Hobart. That's our best case scenario⁸. There's a wide range of scenarios⁹ beyond that, that would see us returning expeditioners and some equipment back via other ships or aircraft and then dealing¹⁰ with whatever damage may have been sustained by the hull¹¹ on the Aurora."
