Every Friday we share adventure news, travel deals, and information about new outdoor gear that we just didn't have time to fit in anywhere else. This week we have a lot to go over, so lets get started.
- Swedish Researchers Rescued From Arctic Ice: 16 crew members aboard the Swedish research ship M/S Malmö had to be rescued earlier in the week when the ship became entangled in the ice in the Arctic Ocean. The crew was taken to Norway's Longyearbyen, although seven stayed behind in an effort to free the vessel. Read all about it here.
- Climber Abandons Rowing Machine on Mont Blanc: If your'e looking for a truly odd story this week, look no further than Chamonix in France. The mayor of that center for outdoor adventure expressed outrage when it was revealed that a climber - a member of Britain's Royal Marines no less - hauled a rowing machine to the summit of Mont Blanc as a stunt, then left said rowing machine on the mountain. Check out the full story here.
That's all for now! See you next Friday!
