A Norwegian cruise ship, carrying 370 passengers and crew, has run aground off a remote Antarctic island.
According to TradeWinds, the 11,386-gt "Nordkapp" (built 1997) ran aground off Deception Island, part of the South Shetland Islands at about 18:30GMT on Tuesday.

No one was injured in the incident and the ship was able to free itself and is now safely anchored in Whalers Bay on Deception Island.

The "Nordkapp" is said to have deployed oil protection equipment and is lying at anchor, awaiting divers to arrive to inspect for damage.

All passengers will be transported back to Ushuaia in southern Argentina aboard the "Nordkapp' sister vessel "Nordnorge" (built 1997).

Scheduled sailings by the "Nordkapp" on 2 and 16 February as well as 1 March have been cancelled, tour operators said.

The "Nordkapp" serves the coast of Norway between Bergen and Kirkenes during the European summer, and the Antarctica during southern hemisphere summer.
