500 fishing boats stranded on sea ice

Fishing boats sit idle on ice offshore at Laizhou Bay in east China's Bohai Sea on January 12, 2010. Marine traffic in east China's Bohai Sea and northern Yellow Sea has frozen to a standstill with more than 500 fishing boats stranded as the sweeping cold wave paralyzes the eastern coast in the worst sea-ice disaster in three decades.
