| Description: |
Heavy sea ice conditions have thwarted a science mission from reaching the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica from which a large iceberg broke off in July 2017. A team of scientists have been travelling on board the RRS James Clark Ross to reach the iceberg and study it. However sea ice, up to 4-5 meters thick, has made progress for the ship very slow. Now, the ship's captain has made the difficult decision not to continue the mission. [Source: British Antarctic Survey]
