25th November 2007, Punta Arenas, Chile. Survivors from the shipwrecked Antarctic vessel M/S Explorer arrive at Punta Arenas by military aircraft. 154 tourists and crew had spent the night on King George Island after their ship struck an iceberg and sank approximately 120km (75 miles) north of the Antarctic Peninsula. After several hours bobbing in small lifeboats surrounded by floating sheets of ice, they were plucked to safety by the Norwegian cruise ship, the Nordnorge. The "Spirit of Shackleton" 19-day cruise through the Drake Passage, cost from around $8,000 (£3,900) per cabin. Pictured are the passengers leaving Punta Arenas for Santiago to fly back to their home countries..PHOTO © JOHN CHAPPLE / REBEL IMAGES.john@chapple.biz www.chapple.biz
