（单词翻译:单击）

A Chinese icebreaker stuck in the Antarctic has cleared a path through the ice one kilometer in length.

The deputy director of the Xue Long, or Snow Dragon, says the vessel¹ will use the channel to pick up as much speed as possible in order to free itself from the ice. The team, which has enough water to last them a month, is now waiting for favorable weather conditions.

The Xue Long became trapped in ice after helping² in the rescue of passengers of a Russian research ship. On Sunday morning, the US sent its own icebreaker, the Polar Star, to assist Xue Long and the Russian vessel.
