US EditionHopes Fade for Injured Climber Stuck up an Icy Mountain for 12 Days After Breaking Her Leg
Rescue efforts for Natalia Nagovitsina halted due to severe weather and dangerous terrain; Italian climber Luca Sinigaglia died during attempts, highlighting extreme risks on Victory Peak.
- Natalia Nagovitsyna, an experienced mountaineer, broke her leg on August 12 while descending Kyrgyzstan's Victory Peak and has been stranded there for 12 days.
- The rescue efforts intensified after Luca Sinigaglia, an Italian climber trying to save her, died on August 15, and worsening weather led to suspending the search on Saturday.
- Victory Peak, the world’s northernmost 7,000-meter mountain known for harsh cold and a very short climbing season, complicates rescue due to severe snowstorms and fragile conditions.
- On August 19, Nagovitsyna was seen alive near the summit ridge by a drone, but officials have indicated that mounting a rescue is highly unlikely due to the challenging three-kilometer ridge that would require around 30 rescuers.
- The Kyrgyz Emergency Ministry suspended all rescue operations due to weather, and officials believe Nagovitsyna is likely no longer alive, while her exact status remains uncertain.
