Pakistan rescues Canadian, Finnish climbers by helicopter
Pakistan's military launched a helicopter evacuation of a Canadian and a Finnish mountain climber who were stranded on a peak in the country's north, according to the Alpine Club of Pakistan.
The two climbers Donald Allen Bowie of Canada and Lotta Henriikka Nakyva of Finland were evacuated due to severe altitude sickness, according to Alpine Club secretary Karrar Haidri. Altitude sickness is characterized by headache, nausea, dizziness and exhaustion.
An initial statement from Pakistan's military listed Bowie as American, but the Alpine Club confirmed he's originally from Alberta, Canada.
The two climbers were part of an international winter expedition to the 26,000-foot (8,000-meter) Broad Peak, the world's 12th highest mountain. The team was led by Russian-Polish climber Denis Urubko.
