A snow avalanche on the west face of Pico Tablato, near the Panticosa balneario in Huesca, killed three experienced mountaineers on Monday around 1:00 p.m. The victims are pediatrician and divulgador Jorge García-Dihinx, 55; his partner, Natalia Román; and Eneko Arrastua, 48. One woman was injured with hypothermia, and two escaped unharmed from the group of six.
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.

Roberto Farias Thomaz, the 19-year-old who vanished on Brazil's highest southern peak during a New Year's hike, was found alive on January 5 after surviving solely on water. He jumped a 30-meter waterfall, walked over 20 km to a farm, ending a massive search involving over 100 firefighters and 300 volunteers.
