Ice Bound Ship Reaches Port - Before Walarmists

Akademic Shokalskiy makes it back to port, ship of fools still stuck in Antarctica
After having to prematurely abandon their mission due to being stuck in ice, and having a weather forecast provided that said all they had to do was wait a few more days, which came true, freeing the ship, the intrepid Dr. Turney and his gaggle of global warming geese tourists were evacuated by helicopter to the Aurora Australis, which then sailed to the Australian Casey Station to finish the resupply operations that got interrupted by Turney’s distress call.

The #spirtofmawson people are still at Casey Station, waiting for their ride home, while the Akademic Shokalskiy has made it to port in New Zealand. See the current positions of both ships:
So, if they'd just stayed on the Akademic, they'd be safe at home by now, after waiting a few more days for the ice to disperse.

I hope they leave some liquor for the regulars who work at Casey Station.
