North Pole scientists rescued

MOSCOW, Russia -- In a dramatic rescue mission, 12 stranded Russian scientists have been plucked from an Arctic research station all but crushed by a freak wall of ice, Russian media reported.

Russian helicopters had battled freezing conditions deep beyond the Arctic Circle Saturday to reach the drifting Russian meteorological research station North Pole-32.

"The mission to save our people can be considered successful," Interfax reported mission chief Artur Chilingarov as saying.

I hope this good news brightens your day at least a little bit.

1. Hooray!

Thanks much for this post. I was just reading about their plight in this morning's paper and had no idea the rescue operation had been successful.

Great to start the weekend with some good news for once.
