A giant wave killed one on an Antarctic cruise ship.
Four other people were injured, the Viking group said on Thursday (local time).
The wave hit the "Viking Polaris" in the middle of a heavy storm.
The ship was reportedly on its way to Ushuaia, Argentina.
The Viking Polaris was partially damaged by the wave.
The cruise ship moored in Ushuaia.
Correspondents for the AFP news agency reported from the port, around 3,200 kilometers south of the capital Buenos Aires, that several windows had been broken, among other things.
Just two weeks ago, another Antarctic cruise had a fatal accident: two 76 and 80-year-old men died when they were traveling in a dinghy and it capsized.
