Surviving in the Andes

On October 13, 1972, a plane crashed into an Andes mountain. Some passengers managed to

survive. Walking in freezing temperatures, the survivors sought shelter inside the wreckage.

They had little food and no hope of rescue.

Two months later, three passengers named Roberto Canessa, Nando Parrado, and Antonio

Vizintin decided to find help. The journey was hard and tiring. However, instead of finding an

escape, they saw more icy peaks.

But hope remained. Parrado saw two snow-free peaks about 65 kilometers away. Vizintin went

back to the plane due to the lack of food while the others decided to keep going. Fortunately,

they found a small river and felt the warmth of the sun. The snow disappeared, replaced by

colorful flowers. Canessa exclaimed, "This is the valley! This is the way out."
