An icebreaker is sent from Tasmania to evacuate an Australian with a 'developing medical condition'.
Australia has launched an urgent operation to rescue a researcher with a "developing medical condition" from the remote Casey outpost in Antarctica.It is travelling thousands of miles to reach the station after an air rescue was ruled out due to harsh conditions.
The programme added that it had taken weeks to prepare the Nuyina for the mission, including equipping it with helicopters. The Nuyina, which cost A$528m to build, has a top speed of 16 knots, or around 18 miles an hour, meaning a journey of several days.
