VLADIVOSTOK, November 16 (RIA Novosti) - A Russian icebreaker with 105 passengers on board has been trapped in ice during a cruise in the Arctic, a Russian Far East marine cruise official said on Monday.
The Kapitan Khlebnikov will need to wait one or two days to resolve the situation, and the official said the passengers are in no danger.
"The icebreaker's crew is waiting for the weather to change and then the ship will resume its course. This will require one or two days. The passengers are in no need of assistance," the spokesman told RIA Novosti.
Most of the passengers on board the icebreaker are Brits. A film crew from the BBC is also on board filming material for a documentary called Frozen Planet.
