Chile aids Korean ship in Antarctica 

A KOREAN-FLAGGED fishing ship is stranded in Antarctica with 90 passengers aboard.

Chile's Navy says the Kwang Ja Ho struck the ocean floor about 450 metres from the coast while cruising through Antarctic waters.
The maritime governor for Chile's portion of Antarctica says a rescue mission was launched.
Officials have confirmed everyone on board is safe and there currently is no risk of a fuel spill.

The 93-metre trawler was coming from a Peruvian port and was carrying 740 tonnes of krill.
Officials say the damage to the ship is in an area that holds a tank for drinking water.
Chile's Navy has contacted the ship's owners so they can start figuring out how to salvage the vessel.
