A haunting video from a Russian climber feared dead up a mountain has emerged, showing her insisting she was 'not afraid to die' on a previous adventure.
Mountaineer Natalia, also known as Natasha, Nagovitsina, 47, has been trapped at 22,965ft on Victory Peak in Kyrgyzstan, with a summit height of 24,406ft.
Nagovitsina was reportedly seen moving on drone footage just days ago. She was injured on August 12, when her climbing partner helped her as best they could before returning further down the mountain to get help.
But since then temperatures have sunk to minus 23C and repeated efforts to bring her down have failed, both by climbing and using a helicopter.
Now, footage from the 2022 documentary 'Stay with Khan Tengri. Tragedy on the mountain' has captured Nagovitsina saying she was 'not afraid to die. I was afraid to be disabled'.
