Russia, China, Australia, France...all co-operating to free a ship in danger of being crushed.
Restores a little of my faith in humanity

A scientific mission ship, trapped in dense pack ice off East Antarctica since Christmas Day, is close to being rescued as a Chinese icebreaker nears.
The crew can see the Snow Dragon icebreaker, which will try to cut a path through the ice allowing the research vessel to reach open water.
The Russian Academic Shokalskiy ship has 74 on board and is being used by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition.
