Australia rescued a sick researcher from the remote Casey outpost in Antarctica&nbsp;on Monday (September 4), according to a report by CNN, citing Australian officials. This comes more than a week after the Australian Antarctic Program (AAP) said they had deployed an icebreaker to rescue a researcher with a “developing medical condition”.&nbsp;

<h2>Researcher rescued</h2>

In an update on Monday, the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) said the icebreaking ship RSV Nuyina had sailed more than 3,000 kilometres from Tasmania’s Hobart to attend to the unnamed patient at the Casey Research Station in the east Antarctic.&nbsp;

Last week, officials in Australia said that they had launched an urgent rescue operation for an expeditioner who needs specialist medical assessment and care in Tasmania.&nbsp;

“Getting this expeditioner back to Tasmania for the specialist medical care required is our priority,” said Robb Clifton, AAD’s acting general manager of operations and logistics, in a statement on Monday (September 4).&nbsp;

“The first phase of the evacuation was performed safely and successfully and the ship is now on the return voyage to Hobart,” said Clifton, in the statement.&nbsp;

He added, “The expeditioner will be looked after in the Nuyina’s specially equipped and designed medical facility by our polar medicine doctors and Royal Hobart Hospital medical staff.”

<h2>Long journey</h2>

Notably, Casey Research Station is located on the northern part of Bailey Peninsula on the Budd Coast which is some 3,880 kilometres south of the Australian city of Perth. However, an icebreaker undertook the long journey after an air rescue was ruled out due to the harsh conditions of the region.&nbsp;

The Nuyina, which sailed for days in the open seas of the Southern Ocean, had to break through sea ice to get close enough to the site and deployed two helicopters which airlifted the patient back to the ship, said the AAD.&nbsp;

The vessel will return from one of Australia’s three permanent stations on the Antarctic coast &nbsp;– which is home to only some 20 people during winter when conditions are at their worst &nbsp;– to Tasmania, depending on weather conditions, said the AAD.&nbsp;

A spokesman for the AAP had previously told BBC, that the “wellbeing of our people is our highest priority” and that the “expeditioner’s family is being kept fully informed of the situation.” He added, “All other personnel on stations are accounted for and safe.”&nbsp;

Australia successfully rescues sick expedition member from remote Antarctic outpost

The recent tragedy of the Titan submersible left the industry of expeditions to the Titatnic wreckage site shocked and with a long-lasting impact. In the wake of the unfortunate accident, all expeditions to the Titanic wreck in the future were cancelled and stand less likely to be resumed in the near future.&nbsp;

As per media reports, The Explorers Club said that as per their knowledge, there are no plans for scientific exploratory trips ahead. The officials have also grounded commercial excursions.&nbsp;

The club is based in New York and focuses on advancements and worldwide scientific expeditions. Many of the members of the club are influential international figures which include the late Hamish Harding, who was among the five victims of submersible implosion.

UK Titanic artefact company White Star Memories Ltd CEO David Scott-Beddard said that he does not feel any expeditions to the Titanic wreck site will take place “in my lifetime”.&nbsp;

Speaking to CNN, Scott-Beddard said, “The chances of any future research being carried out on the wreck of Titanic is extremely slim. I imagine there will be an inquiry, no doubt, after this disaster and much more stringent rules and regulations will be put in place.”

<h2>Still doubtful if bodies can be recovered</h2>

Titan submersible of OceanGate Expeditions, which was bound to the wreckage site of Titanic that rests 12,500 feet below the ocean’s surface, blasted after diving in the ocean.&nbsp;

The submersible was carrying its founder and CEO, Stockton Rush, 61; famed Titanic explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet; British aviator, Hamish Harding, 58; business tycoon Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son Sulaiman.

As per experts, the sub had reached nearly 10,000 ft below sea level when its contact with its OceanGate mothership was broken. The submersible had approximately covered an hour and 45 minutes of the 2-hour journey.

An immediate search operation was launched and after days, the searchers discovered a cluster of debris 1,600 feet away from the Titanic’s bow. It was stated that the sub went through a catastrophic implosion which led to the instant death of all occupants.

It is still doubtful if the dead bodies of the five passengers will be recovered ever. The authorities, meanwhile, are trying to determine whether a criminal investigation will be launched into the disaster, as stated by Kent Osmond, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superintendent.&nbsp;
