WELLINGTON, New Zealand — The 32 crew members aboard a leaking Russian fishing ship near Antarctica have made progress stabilizing the vessel, and a plane was scheduled to drop them supplies Saturday. Rescue ships, hampered by heavy sea ice, were still several days away.
The vessel Sparta hit underwater ice Friday, tearing a 1-foot hole in the hull and causing it to list at 13 degrees.
