Ships stuck in ice

Not to fear. Gore donning on his special supergore suit and flying to the rescue. Close to 40 ships are stuck in ice off the coast of Sweden and according to this CNN report  "It has been a lot colder than normal in the southern parts of the Baltic sea". And, in the comments section a comedian gives much needed advice: "Just drop several tons of anti-ice fluid...they are at $2 bucks the gallons at wal-mart today!!"   Hahahah 

Thirty to 40 ships -- including several passenger ships -- were stuck Thursday in ice off the coast of Sweden, said a spokesman for the Maritime Search and Rescue Center in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The area of the Baltic Sea worst hit by the ice were the waters bounded by mainland Sweden, the Stockholm archipelago and the Finnish island of Aland, said Tommy Gardebring, press officer with the Swedish Maritime Administration.

Several passenger vessels from Viking Line were stuck, he said. One of them had been freed.  via Drudge: ships stuck in ice
