The current little drama in the
Antarctic reminds me of the events in the
Okhotsk Sea a couple of years ago (spool down). That drama lasted over a month before the trapped ships could be freed, so we might have a little way to go.
Back in 2011, of course, there was next to no publicity. But then, this little affair has the advantage of having BBC and Guardian journalists aboard as paying passengers.
