Buenos Aires, Argentina -- An Argentine icebreaker attempting to rescue a German ship trapped in the Antarctic ice pack has itself become bogged down and could spend the next few months at sea, the icebreaker's captain said Tuesday.

The Almirante Irizar, one of Latin America's most formidable icebreakers, had been pulling the German vessel Magdalena Oldendorf...
