'Stuck in our own experiment': Leader of trapped team insists polar ice is melting
The leader of a scientific expedition whose ship remains stranded in
Antarctic ice says the team, which set out to prove climate change, is
"stuck in our own experiment."
But Chris Turney, a professor of climate change at Australia's
University of New South Wales, said it was "silly" to suggest he and 73
others aboard the MV Akademic Shokalskiy were trapped in ice they'd
sought to prove had melted. He remained adamant that sea ice is melting,
even as the boat remained trapped in frozen seas.
