Passengers, Crew on Ship Stranded in Antarctic Celebrate New Year's

Post videos online

Passengers and crew aboard a research ship trapped in Antarctic ice for a week have been keeping their spirits up by filming themselves celebrating the new year and posting them on the internet.

In one, the lively bunch squeeze together in a small tent to perform a humorous song about their plight, while in a second they sing Auld Lang Syne as they stamp down the snow near the ship in preparation for the arrival of a rescue helicopter.
