South of 70 degrees south there is no god.
The Lindblad Explorer sank in 2007 after being holed by ice in the Southern Ocean at 622418S 571146W, but the crew was picked up from the lifeboats by the Norwegian cruise ship MS Nordnorge, guided by the Chilean navy and the Argentinian Coastguard. All passengers and crew were saved.
Did the Australian Navy give up any rescue attempt because it was too far south? Or maybe because it was too far east or west. or does God only help Norwegian cruise ships below 60?
