TL;DR Summary

Australia has launched an urgent mission to rescue a researcher with a "developing medical condition" from the remote Casey outpost in Antarctica. The icebreaker RSV Nuyina is traveling thousands of miles to reach the station after an air rescue was ruled out due to harsh conditions. The researcher, an Australian, requires specialist treatment, and the evacuation by air was not possible due to the unusable ice runway. The Nuyina, equipped with helicopters, will take several days to reach the station. Evacuations from Antarctica are complex and often require assistance from international partners.
