Rescued Tourists in the Almaty Mountain Range
In the heart of Kazakhstan, three men from Aktau were successfully rescued from the mountains of Almaty after an attempt to reach Big Almaty Lake. The rescue operation, carried out by the Emergency Service in the city of Almaty, took two hours to complete.
The tourists climbed up a water pipeline but, unable to descend, they called for help. The pipeline was covered in ice during the rescue operation, making the situation even more perilous.
Fortunately, the tourists were not injured during the rescue operation. However, last year, three individuals lost their lives during similar emergency services conducted by the Emergency Service in Almaty.
The Emergency Service in Almaty conducted approximately 60 rescue and search operations last year, rescuing a total of 98 people. The number of lives lost during these emergency services was three.
The rescue operation involved the use of alpine equipment and ropes. The tourists were not prepared for the snow and weather conditions in Almaty, and their footwear was not suitable for the conditions they encountered.
Elaman, a resident of Aktau, advises against attempting dangerous climbs due to the slippery ice conditions. His advice emphasizes the importance of being careful during mountain climbs in Almaty.
Taïrjan Mukhtarov, a medic-rescuer from the city's Emergency Service, provided a statement about the rescue operation. Despite the challenges faced, the team was able to bring the tourists to safety.
It's a reminder for all adventurers to always be prepared and aware of the conditions before embarking on such journeys. Safety should always be the top priority.
