Miracle in the Mountains: Indian Climber Found Alive After Falling into Annapurna Crevasse.

Anurag Maloo, an Indian mountain climber, was found alive after falling almost 1,000 feet down a crevasse on Nepal's Mount Annapurna and surviving there for three days. He was rescued by a team that included several Sherpas and a Polish climber and airlifted to a hospital in critical condition. Maloo was on a mission to climb the 14 highest peaks in the world to raise awareness for the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Annapurna is considered an especially dangerous trek, and renowned Irish climber Noel Hanna perished there this week.

Tragedy on Annapurna: Irish climber dies, Indian missing

Irish climber Noel Hanna died while returning from the summit of Mount Annapurna, while Indian climber Anurag Maloo fell into a crevasse on the same mountain and is still missing. Another Indian climber, Baljeet Kaur, fell ill on the way down from the summit but survived after spending the night on the mountain.
