THAT SINKING FEELING

Perhaps by now you've heard that a cruise ship, the MV Explorer is sinking near Antarctica. As I was reading a related article, I learned to my amazement that the ship was formerly the Lindblad Explorer

which actually docked at McMurdo Station back in 1970 or 1971, while I was there as part of the U.S. Navy's Operation Deep Freeze! At the time it was the first cruise ship visit to Antarctica. Just a tidbit of useless information.
