This photo was taken aboard the Araon, South Korea's first icebreaker vessel, which will conduct surveys at Cape Burks until early February 2010 before sailing to Terra Nova Bay, the second candidate site. The Araon left Christchurch, New Zealand on 12 January 2010 for its 40-day voyage. EPA/YONHAPNEWS AGENCY
