ROME | Italian spelunker rescued after 2 days trapped in cave

ROME — An Italian spelunker has been rescued after two days trapped in a grotto beneath an Alpine glacier near the northeastern border with Slovenia.

The news agency ANSA says 33-year-old Stefano Guarniero was strapped to a stretcher and pulled from the cave 200 meters (650 feet) below the surface after rescuers drilled a hole into the side of the mountain.

Officials from Italy’s civil protection agency said Guarniero was injured when he fell about 17 meters (55 feet) on Saturday while exploring a cave beneath a glacier at an altitude of around 2,200 meters (7,200 feet).

Others in the party alerted authorities. Guarniero was then reached by a rescue team, nurse and doctor who stayed with him until the hole was large enough to bring through a stretcher.

Surprise Glacier, Alaska: Alpine Glacier Breakdown, by Robert Arrington on Flickr.

Deep inside the heart of Alaska's Prince William Sound and tucked away inside the maze of inlets lies the Harriman Fjord. The early settlers who first explored these fjords must have been surprised when they turned a corner and found themselves face to face with the heaving blue splendor that is today known as Surprise Glacier. I am not quite sure how the glacier got its name but surprise is certainly what was felt when our boat pulled up to the ice to watch the tidewater glacier groan forward and calve icebergs the size of skyscrapers. As we were excitedly watching the drama unfolding before us we heard another sound over our heads. An alpine glacier high up on the mountain above us suddenly broke loose and a massive shelf of ice came crashing down the mountain creating a niagara falls of awesome power and beauty. The boat captain told us that seeing an alpine glacier calve is one of the rarest- and most surprising - sights of all.
