Four rescued, eight still missing on avalanche-hit Indian peak
Four British climbers have been rescued from an avalanche-hit Himalayan mountain range, Indian authorities said Sunday, as a frantic search continued for eight other mountaineers still missing on its treacherous heights.
Helicopters airlifted the rescued group to safety after they were spotted early Sunday at a base camp near India’s second highest mountain, the 7,826-metre (25,643-foot) Nanda Devi.
Scores of emergency workers were combing the peaks on foot and using two choppers as rescue operations entered a second day, having been hampered by rough weather on Saturday
