The rescue forces of the Ministry of Emergency Situations evacuated two geologists in Khabarovsk territory.
The men were trapped by a blizzard at the base of the taiga 24 kilometers from the village of Shrem.
When the scientists ran out of food supplies, they decided to abandon the UAZ SUV and go to the people on foot through the remote taiga. Due to a snow drift, the men managed to travel only seven kilometers during the six-hour journey, but they managed to reach an abandoned beehive. There, geologists were able to contact relatives and request emergency assistance.
