The man was working at the Casey research station when he suffered from what authorities described as a developing medical condition that needed specialist assessment and care.
An Australian who fell ill at a remote Antarctic base is returning home on an icebreaker following a daunting mission to rescue him, authorities said Tuesday.
The icebreaker RSV Nuyina left Australia last week and traveled south more than 1,800 miles, breaking through sea ice to reach a location 89 miles from the base, the Australian Antarctic Division said in a statement. “The first phase of the evacuation was performed safely and successfully and the ship is now on the return voyage to Hobart,” said Robb Clifton, the division’s acting general manager of operations and logistics. “Getting this expeditioner back to Tasmania for the specialist medical care required is our priority.”
