Cruise vessel MV Polar Star on July 4 2010 in Adventfjorden, Nordenskiold Land, Spitsbergen, Svalbard

This image was taken on July 4 2010. On January 31 2011 the Polar Star was to ground temporarily on an uncharted rock in the Matha Strait off the Antarctic Peninsula. Only the outer hull was punctured so there was no danger to people on board or any risk of leakage of fuel into the fragile Antarctic environment.
