US College Students Trapped on Mountain by Blizzard for 9 Days Survive (High-Definition Photos)

【Global Times Comprehensive Report】According to a June 11 report by the UK's Daily Mail, on June 1, 21-year-old American college students Alex Brown and Erika Collingworth were hiking in the mountains of New Zealand's South Island when they encountered a blizzard and got trapped on the mountain. Alex, who studies environmental science, has extensive wilderness survival skills, and he and Erika survived on just one biscuit and one jelly per day. A nearby hot spring provided them with good warmth. It wasn’t until eight days later that their friend Kate realized they were missing and immediately called the police. However, before the rescue team could set out, they had already safely walked out of the mountains on their own.
