NEW: Trapped cruise ship rescued from thick ice near Antarctica by the United States Coast Guard.
The Scenic Eclipse II, which can hold 228 passengers and 176 crew members, was traveling through the Ross Sea when it got stuck.
The USCGC Polar Star was seen breaking the ice to create a path for the cruise ship to pass through.
"The Australian-owned cruise ship Scenic Eclipse II contacted Polar Star at approximately 11 p.m., local time Friday after becoming beset in pack ice roughly eight nautical miles from McMurdo Sound," the U.S. Coast Guard said in a statement.
"Polar Star’s crew conducted two close passes to break the vessel free, then escorted it approximately four nautical miles to open water."🔥 Show more Video
