Hundreds of fishermen stranded on a breakaway ice shelf refused evacuation from rescuers as they drifted out to the Pacific Ocean.
Authorities said the 374 anglers had been trapped on the ice after it broke off from Russia's eastern coast, drifting a kilometre out into the Sea of Okhotsk on February 28.
