Still Waters Posted June 18, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Concerns have been raised about the participation of a UK science vessel in an Arctic tourist voyage. Funded by the UK government, the RRS Ernest Shackleton normally carries out support work for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS). But this summer the ice breaker has been chartered to accompany a luxury liner's voyage in the Arctic. Critics say it is inappropriate for a vessel dedicated to science to support tourism in such a fragile area. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-36541583 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
