A Swedish woman in her 20s from Eksjö has been seriously injured after a fall of about 400 meters on Mount Fuji in Japan. The accident occurred on March 9 during a ski descent, and she was rescued along with a New Zealand man after several hours of searching. Her condition is critical, according to Japanese media.

Amir Bar-Lev's 'The Last First: Winter K2' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, chronicling the perilous first winter climb of the world's second-highest peak. The film highlights the 2020-2021 expeditions marked by competition, innovation, and devastating losses. While capturing human ambition against nature's fury, it reveals more tragedy than triumph.

He jumped a 30-meter waterfall, walked over 20 km to a farm, ending a massive search involving over 100 firefighters and 300 volunteers.
