Japanese icebreaker arrives at Antarctic base

SHOWA BASE, Antarctica - Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force members walk on the ice bed to drive in the anchor of the Japanese icebreaker Shirase on Jan. 10, 2010, after reaching Japan's main Antarctic base, Showa Station. The ship reached the base six days behind schedule because of the unusually thick ice and snow that detained the ship's advance in the Antarctic Ocean. (Pool photo)
