The four crew members of the ‘Endless Sea’ were rescued unharmed and taken to the base. The vessel is owned by journalist an former president of Radio El Dorado João Lara Mesquita who was in the region producing a documentary.
According to the Brazilian Navy, the wreck occurred, probably due to the compression of the vessel by an accumulation of ice. This is the latest setback suffered by Brazil in Antarctica this year. In February, one of Brazil’s two Antarctic scientific stations was largely destroyed by fire.
