The Scotsman reports that...
A SCOTTISH lawyer was among six passengers and crew injured on a Arctic sightseeing boat after falling ice from a glacier triggered a massive wave.
Donald Reid, a law columnist for The Scotsman, suffered a punctured lung, fractured ribs and a fractured shoulder blade after being flung across the ship when the wave struck.
Last night the vessel's Russian captain was being questioned by investigators who want to establish whether he navigated too close to the ice cliff when it broke off.
Travel company Discover the World, which booked the British passengers on the trip, claimed the captain acted "irresponsibly" in allowing his vessel to get too close to the glacier.
