Passengers and crew members are being rescued from a sinking cruise liner off Argentina's coast.

The Explorer is reported to have hit an object in the Antarctic Ocean, near the South Shetland Islands.

Andy Cattrell, of the Falmouth Coastguard, said about 100 passengers and 54 crew members have been evacuated and are in lifeboats.

The captain and the chief officer are understood to have remained on board the cruise liner.

Andy Cattrell said the weather conditions were "fairly good" for this time of year, but it would be cold.

British coastguards are helping to co-ordinate the rescue operation.
