Video footage shows a fire erupting on a supply vessel in the Antarctic Ocean.

The fire started at around 2 p.m. on Monday on MPV Everest, The Guardian reported, while it was five days into a 14-day journey back to Australia.

No injuries were reported, and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau is investigating.

A Maritime Union of Australia official said the fire caused "significant damage" to one of the ship's engines and "resulted in the destruction of two smaller vessels stored on the deck," The Guardian reported.
