Icebreaker in Antarctica

TOKYO, Japan - The Japanese icebreaker Shirase is blocked by sea ice off Japan's Showa Base in Antarctica on Jan. 8, 2013. Japan's science ministry said on Jan. 11 that the icebreaker had failed to dock at the Showa Base for the second year in a row due to snow and thick ice.
