UK helicopter crash in Antarctica

A rescue operation is under way in Antarctica after a British helicopter crashed in bad weather.
The helicopter was on its way from the UK research area at Rotheray - several hundred miles south of the Falklands - to the South Pole.

It is thought two people were on board but there is no word on their condition.

The helicopter's beacon signal was picked up by RAF Kinloss in Scotland and the RAF rescue centre in the Falklands is handling the operation.

Poor weather is reportedly preventing a rescue aircraft circling overhead from landing.

Rescuers are believed to be planning to walk to the crash scene from a nearby air base.
