SKARDU:
Despite a halt in the rescue operation owing to bad weather conditions, friends and families of Ali Sadpara and the other missing K2 climbers, vowed on Wednesday to carry on with the search of the savage mountain with the help of sophisticated satellite data.
Rescue efforts have been on since Pakistan s Ali Sadpara, 45, Iceland s John Snorri, 47, and Chile s Juan Pablo Mohr, 34, went missing on February 5 while attempting to ascent the K2.
“For the first time ever, this team is working with the Iceland Space Agency to review the SAR technology - that has never been used before for searching and rescuing - not the SAT technology, to cover every inch of the higher elevations of the mountain despite bad weather conditions,” read a statement issued from Skardu.
