National Science Foundation officials refused to release any details when a charter aircraft was severely damaged in a crash near Mount Patterson on Thursday. The Canadian-owned charter plane was returning from dropping global positioning system units and seismic sensors.
The 10 passengers were marooned on the west Antarctic ice sheet for 20 hours before two Twin Otter aircraft from the United States McMurdo Station completed a rescue.
