Russia’s Arctic researchers return home as heroes after rescue
Moscow, Russia - Russian scientists rescued from an Arctic research station flew home to a hero's welcome Sunday, days after narrowly escaping death when nearly all of their station sank beneath a wall of ice.
A plane carrying the 12 researchers arrived to a waiting crowd of family, friends and colleagues in Russia's second city of Saint Petersburg shortly after 2:00 p.m. (1100 GMT), Russian news agencies reported.
