You should check some facts... the ship has run aground, NOT hit an iceberg (which even so happen to be very commonplace in that part of the world, contrary to what you seem to suggest). FYI - The Antarctic Peninsula coast is also approx 1000 miles from the South Pole.

It is very good advice to check on cruise suppliers but you should also be aware that pretty much all vessels are members of a global association that supports strict environmental regulations and which has emergency contingency plans in place for such accident.s
