Since this was a "purpose-built" ship just for that area, I hope all the ships going to Antarctica will be able to compare the specs on Explorer to what they have for being "ice-proof". Great luck that there was a ship nearby to rescue the passengers so quickly. I just heard on CNN that they are headed back to Chile.
