WORLD OF CRISIS

Tanker carrying supplies for stranded Alaskan village gets stuck in thick ice flows as it crosses the frigid Bering Sea



The 370-foot Russian tanker Renda is escorted by a specially-designed Coast Guard ice breaker, the USCGC Healy, but progress is just five to six miles a day. The two ships have 300 more miles of sea ice to crush before than reach Nome, Alaska, which could run out of fuel if the delivery doesn't make it.
