MOSCOW - A Russian cruise ship that has been struggling through a huge mass of sea ice for days has finally reached clear water off Antarctica.

The Captain Khlebnikov icebreaker carrying 101 passengers got stuck in the ice earlier this week near Snow Hill Island in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica. It has taken the ship five days to free itself, Fareastern Shipping Co. spokeswoman Tatyana Kulikova said Friday."

Two-week tours aboard the Captain Khlebnikov to see emperor penguins range from $13,890 (C9,350) to $22,690 (C15,280) per person.

Are these green wackos crazy? Over $22,000 per person to get stuck in ice? If I spend money on a vacation, it sure won't be looking for penguins. I bet the stimulus money was spent on crap like this for tours of Antarctica. Green wacko tin hat nut jobs.
