Ilta-Sanomat reveals embarrassing error in Reuters feed on Russian North Pole sub expedition
Images presented by the Reuters news agency last Thursday, purporting to show the Finnish-built MIR submersibles during a recent Russian scientific expedition to the sea bed 4.3 kilometres below the Geographic North Pole, have been shown to be something else again. The pictures did indeed show MIR-1 and MIR-2 in action, but the submersibles were actually employed at the time in location filming at the scene of the wreck of the RMS Titanic in the North Atlantic, and not under the polar ice-cap. Reuters has since issued a correction, after a 13-year-old Finnish boy spotted the glitch and contacted an evening newspaper.
