Japanese Mountaineer Dies Of Hypothermia On Peru's Tallest Mountain Peak
A mountaineer from Japan died and another was rescued during a trek on Peru's tallest mountain, authorities said Thursday. Chiaki Inada, 40, and Saki Terada, 36, became trapped Monday due to fog and bad weather on the mountain called Huascaran at an elevation of more than 21,000 feet (6,400 meters). They were located by rescuers thanks to a GPS signal sent via a device in their possession, but not before Inada died from hypothermia, authorities said. "We have rescued the Japanese citizen who was alive in order to deliver medical attention. Tomorrow we will transfer the body" of the second climber, General Antonio Loreno, the head of the police for the Ancash region, told TV Peru. The pair arrived from Japan two weeks earlier and climbed the mountain without a guide. Standing over 22,000 feet (6,700 meters) tall, Huascaran in the Cordillera Blanca mountain range draws climbers from around the world. On Sunday, the bodies of three climbers who had been missing for more than 20 days in the same region were found after they were buried by an avalanche, authorities said. And last July, the body of US mountaineer William Stampfl, who disappeared during an avalanche in 2002 while climbing Huascaran, was found mummified.

Peruvian fisherman lost for 95 days in Pacific Ocean returns home
PAITA, Peru — A Peruvian fisherman who spent 95 days lost in the Pacific Ocean, eating roaches, birds and sea turtles to survive, is returning home to his family. Maximo Napa had set off for a fishing trip from Marcona, a town on the southern Peruvian coast, on December 7. He packed food for a two-week trip, but ten days in, stormy weather threw his boat off course and he ended up adrift in the Pacific Ocean. His family launched a search, but Peru's maritime patrols were unable to locate him until Wednesday, when an Ecuadorian fishing patrol discovered him some 680 miles off the country's coast, heavily dehydrated and in critical condition. 'I did not want to die,' Napa told Reuters after reuniting with his brother, in Paita, near the border with Ecuador. 'I ate roaches, birds, the last thing I ate was turtles.' He said he stayed strong thinking about his family, including his 2-month-old granddaughter, even as he survived on rainwater he collected on the boat and ran out of food, ultimately spending the last 15 days without eating. 'I thought about my mother every day,' he said. 'I'm thankful to God for giving me a second chance." His mother, Elena Castro, told local media that while her relatives had stayed optimistic, she had began to lose hope. 'I told the Lord, 'Whether he's alive or dead, just bring him back to me, even if it's just to see him,'' she told TV Peru. 'But my daughters never lost faith. They kept telling me, 'Mom, he'll come back, he'll come back.''
