The giant search engine Google is known for bringing smiles on people
faces on every celebration. After the Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas
season, now it's time for New Year celebration, which google marked
with an animated doodle.
The jumping numbers 2, 0, 1, 3 left, right and center makes the doodle a
moving tribute to the year 2013 and looks to 2014 with hope and
celebration. The hand movements of the digits makes it dance like real
human beings.
The doodle's mouse over reads 'Happy New Year!' and is linked to important stories of the year 2013. Not only this, as a leading search engine, Google doodle also features Google Zeitgeist 2013 that has YouTube video of 2013 and highlights of the year.
Trapped ship passengers set to ring in New Year in Antarctic ice
While the Google doodle is celebrating the New Year in an animated fashion, the trapped ship passengers of the Russian ship are all set to ring in New Year in Antarctic ice.
Passengers on a Russian ship stranded in Antarctica for over a week are
likely to ring in the New Year trapped in the ice, as a rescue
helicopter on a nearby Chinese ship waits for the weather to clear.
The helicopter on board the Snow Dragon will be used after an Australian icebreaker on Monday failed to reach the trapped Akademik Shokalskiy, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said on Tuesday.
But continuing blizzard conditions mean the rescue attempt will have wait.
"Weather conditions are unlikely to start improving until tomorrow and decisions related to carrying out the rescue may be made at short notice," it said.
The Russian ship left New Zealand on Nov. 28 on a private expedition to commemorate the 100th anniversary of an Antarctic journey led by famed Australian explorer Douglas Mawson.
It became trapped on Dec. 24 100 nautical miles east of French Antarctic station Dumont D'Urville and about 1,500 nautical miles south of Australia's southern island state of Tasmania.
